Original subtitles

Good evening, guys.

Are you ready?

Someone answer me, are you ready?

You have to answer so I know when to start.

-Are you ready? -Ready!

Alright.

Look, Mr. Marachli.

The most important thing is the safety of the people.

Rest assured, madam. The safety of the people is our priority.

I am Tahsin El-Shabrawy.

GM of the House of Horrors.

Mrs. Ibal.

Iqbal with a Q.

-Not without it. -Sorry, madam.

"Mrs. With a Q," not without it.

District Licensing Officer.

Nice to meet you, madam.

A GM of a House of Horrors in an amusement park?

I beg your pardon,

I got the position of General Manager after working for 40 years.

But I was not born here, madam.

Before I took over the House of Horrors,

I worked for three years as an assistant director of the roller coaster,

and I did great by the grace of God.

Prior to that, I worked for four years as a general supervisor

in Umm Azza amusement park, which is at the end of Faisal street.

Located just after the bridge.

Mr. Tahsin will accompany you

on an inspection tour inside the House of Horrors,

to make sure for yourself and see

that we have adhered to all your observations and instructions

strictly.

Look, Mr. Marachli,

entertainment is very important, and we are instructed to encourage it,

but to frighten people in amusement parks, no.

I will not accept or allow this.

-Nor will I allow it. -Nor will I, madam, ever.

The three of us won't allow this.

And the description of the House of Horrors is also metaphorical.

Children laugh inside it.

Tell her, Tahsin.

Ma'am, I swear you will enjoy your time with us.

What horror are you talking about? We entertain children...

Forget it all, madam,

do you want popcorn or cotton candy?

HOUSE OF HORRORS

As I told you, there is absolutely nothing to be frightened of.

This is the entrance to the House.

What is it, sir?

Nothing, madam.

Things have been added and we haven't been told, don't mind me.

Here we are, madam. Welcome.

-What is this? Is this a bride? -Yes, madam.

Her groom is inside, but in the corridor on the left, I'll show you him.

Keep walking, madam. Welcome.

Come in, madam.

Did you see how we passed through so easily?

Because this, madam, is plastic.

It's obviously plastic, what's that crap?

-Crap? -Yes.

Let's continue down the corridor.

We were told that it is here...

What is this, madam?

I get these symptoms when I'm afraid.

-Forgive me. -Forgive you? What is this, madam?

Go with it.

Go with it so that I calm down.

Go with it so that I calm down.

-Forgive me. -I forgive you, woman.

Are we done?

Are you calm now?

Thank God.

Thank God. Shall we continue our tour?

Let's go, ma'am.

Let's go.

Let's go. You freaked out a little early.

I was going to tell you that we were told something was going to drop here.

But they are just dolls. Look.

Fabric and colors.

Children come here to have fun. Keep going, madam.

Look over there, this is a very cute doll.

A woman dissecting a corpse.

She cuts off the hand first,

then the neck.

Fun thing for kids.

These are cheerful colors and the ceiling is painted with glowing paint.

We discovered that phosphorous paint has the advantage

that it transforms the sense of the place from ordinary

to cheerful...

What was that? What was that sound?

Ma'am, it's a new program and I don't know much about it.

The sound is exaggerated. You are right.

Run, woman, run!

Run, woman. Oh, God!

Oh, God!

What is this now?

Watch out! Don't be afraid.

-Forgive me. -Stop the nonsense.

Forgive me.

I swear I will not forgive you!

What is that? You're putting your finger in my mouth?

I will throw up.

Forgive me.

Did you throw up on me?

I hope you fall into a well full of goblins and there is no escape from it.

Yasser, what happened?

It's Tahsin, he vomited on the permits officer.

Yasser.

Yasser. Yasser.

Are you calling me while I'm walking beside you, you idiot?

Hey!

Hey, you idiot!

Didn't I send you a message with Tahsin?

Asking you to water down the program

so we can get the license?

Didn't I?

Frankly, sir, the House of Horrors must be terrifying.

-It can't be... -What's your concern here, idiot?

-Where's Tahsin? -I don't know.

In my pants pocket.

Here.

Answer, it might be an important call.

No, it's my sister Ibtisam, I don't care about her.

You vomited in the face of the woman who is giving us the license?

Instead of making her love the place, you made her more afraid, Tahsin?

What am I going to do with you?

I swear I didn't throw up willingly, she stuck her finger in my throat.

And I had yogurt before that, what could I have done?

You could have allowed it,

you could have held out. Did you come here to close my amusement park?

-You came to close it? -This is the third time he's done this.

What's wrong with you, man? Speak well or hold your tongue.

Shut up!

I have to go to the hospital at once

to check on the woman because of what you did to her.

I want to please her so we get the license.

Idiots!

Uncle Tahsin...

Come here, you're going to be late for school.

Stop. You are hitting me.

You are playing on your phone and skipping school.

Where did he get the phone from? He got it thanks to you and Dad.

-Let me scold him. You won't get away! -Get out of my sight.

Hurry up in there, I need to relieve myself.

Why the hurry? Is the ministry car waiting for you outside?

Or do you want to rush to the bank to withdraw money?

-What, Mom? Enough boy! -Come here, I won't let you get away!

-Get away from me! -You won't get away from me!

Guys!

-What, Mom? -Why did you get up early?

To go to the bathroom. I woke up early because I have something important to do.

I'm going to the licensing department, I might get the shop license today.

Can you move aside?

-Go in! -Do you like to hit me for no reason?

Alright!

Allah, I seek refuge with You from all offensive and wicked things.

-Good morning, Tahsin. -Good morning, dude.

What? Are you going to pee on me?

What, do you want me to take a shower with my clothes on?

I thought you'd just wash your face, I didn't think you'd shower.

You have something to do? You are unemployed and useless.

-You know, you owe me a lot. -No, it is your debts that have increased.

You live in our house and live off what we inherited from my father.

And FYI, I'll get the license tomorrow and open my grandparents' store.

And I'll throw that money in your face, you filthy rat.

-It won't happen! Look, Tahsin. -What?

Would you give me your loofah?

-What? -Your loofah to scrub with it.

Why don't you scrub with yours?

I have been itching for days and I have a contagious disease,

and the doctor told me not to use the same one twice so as not to get an infection.

And he asked you to take Tahsin's loofah, okay.

Here. Take a bath with this!

-What's wrong with you, Tahsin? -You are stupid.

Are you too young to wash your face on your own?

Are you ill-mannered, Ibtisam?

-Tell her. -Don't interrupt someone taking a bath.

-Am I sitting on a balcony? -Wait, Tahsin.

You don't get to say a word, I bear all the responsibilities of this house.

-I am the one who provided for this house! -Don't shout, there is a kid with us!

What is it? Why are you yelling this early in the morning?

Are we in a souk? What are you doing, fool?

I am studying geography.

It's not right to intrude while I'm bathing, I could catch a cold.

Is it okay for a boy to go to school without washing his face?

Enough! Are we going to do this crap every day?

What a crazy family!

You're supposed to make me sandwiches.

Give him his money, Ibtisam. I am standing here like this...

-Ironed clothes! -Stop!

-How are you, Mr. Tahsin? -How are you, Atofa?

-How is your father? -He is fine.

-Did you iron my blue checkered shirt? -Yes.

It will be 18 pounds.

What? 18 imps to curse you!

-This boy is a thief, like his father was. -Yes.

-Come here, boy, he stole my velvet pants. -Yes, thief.

-Yeah, he stole it from me. -Just a moment!

I'm starting to feel stomach cramps, an explosion is going to hit us all.

-Save yourselves. One, two... -Run!

-Good morning, Om Walaa. -Tahsin! How are you and your mother?

-Thank God, my mom is fine. -May she kick the bucket!

-Why? What did she do to you? -She took my savings and left.

I don't have anything to do with that, I just said hello.

-You need anything from the store? -I don't want anything, go your own way.

-You can ask me for anything. -I don't need anything from you!

-Okay! -Get lost!

-What's with her? -What a pain in the ass!

SHABRAWY & SONS STORE SINCE 1910

Sir! Are you okay?

I... I...

What is this?

Oh, God! No!

No!

ACCIDENT AND EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT

Unfortunately, his chance of recovery is very low.

-Why? What's wrong with him? -What?

-What's wrong with him? -He has a retinal detachment.

This means that if he survives, he will be blind or cross-eyed.

As for the esophagus and prostate, they were fused together.

An esophagus fused with a prostate?

-Or... -Is that my condition or this man's?

Clear!

Clear!

That's enough, Doctor.

-Where did he go? -It looks like he was electrocuted.

-To hell with him! -You saved my life.

It is a favor I will never forget.

It was not a favor, I am dismantled!

-What did you say? -Sorry,

I hit my head pretty hard and I don't know what I am saying.

Say nothing, and thank you again for what you did.

I have to go. I'll visit you later. Do you need me to get you anything?

Yes, I need kofta.

-Kofta? -Yes, but the most important thing

is that he gives it to you whole so that the meat does not separate.

Thanks a lot.

-Do you need anything else? -No, thank you.

Bye. Thank God.

Thank God.

Clear!

Why are you here? Didn't I say I wanted to be alone?

-My orders are not to leave you. -Me? Kofta?

I wish it would stick in your mouth and never come out, Tahsin!

Where is he? Where is Tahsin?

I heard he had an accident. Did that happen while he was full or hungry?

-Where is Tahsin, boys? -Upstairs, Mom.

Upstairs? Oh, God!

Do I still have a staircase to climb?

May God take revenge on you, Tahsin!

May God take your soul!

Pray for us, people, that Tahsin recovers with this hashtag,

"Khalifa and Ibtisam support Tahsin, the brother-in-law."

And don't forget this hashtag, "Tahsin, my heart, Lord."

And tell me which color shoes to buy.

May God help us to overcome this crisis.

Do you know what?

You two deserve to be kicked.

Is that what concerns you right now?

My beloved son.

Tahsin, my beloved. What is this?

-What's with him? Why is he bandaged? -Guys, I want you to calm down.

Unfortunately, his chance of recovery does not exceed one percent.

Thank God, Ibtisam.

-Thanks for your generosity, God! -Thank God.

Hajjah. Guys.

You obviously didn't hear me very well.

I said his chance of recovery does not exceed one percent.

-This is good. -This is not good.

Um, what did you do?

Mom, do you have to send someone to follow and watch over me?

I'm old enough and I know what to do.

You must have protection with you. You can never be alone.

We have enemies. Let's stick to the subject.

He's too short and older than me and it's hard to love him.

That's what we need.

We don't want you to fall in love with him.

After completing his mission with you, he can fulfill his destiny.

Let's wait a bit, we might find a better option.

This human being, whether you believe in him or not,

is your last chance.

You wasted your opportunities for an arranged marriage,

and now, at your age, you won't be able to give birth

according to the laws of the Mongooses.

His blood also stained your body,

which means that your body won't accept another human.

This is what drives me crazy! How did he survive the accident and hold my hand?

Focus on him and entice him with your love.

Love will blind him. Do you understand, Narmin?

Understood, Mom.

Mashallah. Wonderful car.

-Did it come with the cups? -What did you say?

I'm sorry. Nice to meet you.

I apologize for not visiting you in the hospital,

but you should have recovered sooner.

I'm doing great. Doctors told me I'd be better when my mouth gets better.

-What is your name? -Narmin.

-"Nermin." -No!

Never mispronounce my name. Repeat after me. Narmin.

Narmin, with an A.

-Narmin Mongoose. -Mongoose. I got the pronunciation right?

Do you have relatives in Al Sharqiya?

I heard my great-grandfather is from Babylon, Mesopotamia in Iraq.

I also heard that my great-grandfather was from Umraniye.

An area between the two canals in the governorate of Giza.

I like sitting in a café from 3:00 to 6:00, at table number seven.

-Which is a two-seater. -Two-seater?

Now, I get it.

Off I go, then, so you can get to the lucky one who's waiting for you there.

I will get off under the next bridge, driver.

Are you upset? It seems I misunderstood you.

I misunderstood you. You want me to accompany you.

Right, so you can introduce me

to the lucky one who's waiting for you there, right?

-Get out. -Okay.

-Help him. -I swear I will rip it off.

Give it to me. I will tie it for you.

Why didn't you do that from the start? Here it is.

-That is strange, Tahsin. -What?

A beautiful girl,

who is so rich, why would she love you?

Don't jinx it! That's envious of you.

Why does she love me? It's simple, I saved her life.

She saw in me the brave young man that any girl would wish for.

It is still strange.

Her family could give you 100 pounds in compensation for your injury,

but to marry their daughter?

-This is fishy! -Fishy? You will kill me!

What is this bullshit?

-The truth may be the opposite. -What?

They definitely want you. They want to take your house and demolish it

-and build a tower in its place. -You see? He gets it.

I am sought after by any sexy girl.

-Sexy girl? Are you watching porn, Tahsin? -What is this?

I want to watch it with you.

Are you crazy? Porn?

How do you come in like this? Do you think it's a bathroom?

Knock first. We were just discussing arrangements.

Yasser's cousin is getting married, and his fiancée is said to be sexy.

God bless him, we have nothing to do with that.

-How are you? -That's why you are so well-dressed.

Yes.

Is that the address?

I wasn't talking to you!

"Get off on the other side of El Warraq Island, and it will suddenly get cloudy."

Who owns this property?

-What's wrong with you, man? -Mrs. Narmin and her family await.

Follow me.

There is clearly a misunderstanding.

I have come to propose, not to fish.

With all due respect to the Nile.

-Move. -Okay.

We did not get to know one another. What is your name?

-Lowly. -Who is that lowly that bothered you?

-No. I asked about your name. -I'm Lowly, meaning the one below.

That's normal.

I've heard of the Colt and Animal families.

That's normal.

Lowly, does Narmin live on an island?

I am not allowed to answer any questions.

Okay.

Lowly. What is that fog? Will the weather change?

Oh, gosh!

Where are we going?

Lowly. Where are you going? Don't leave me here.

I'm not allowed to get any closer.

What do I do here, then? I don't know anything.

What is that?

-Didn't you just leave on the boat? -That was my brother Lowly.

Your brother Lowly? And who are you?

I'm Trashy.

-Nice to meet you. -Follow me.

Okay.

Keep going. I'm not allowed to get any closer.

What's with this "not allowed" nonsense?

Hey, you! Answer me!

What misfortune is this?

Mr. Tahsin?

Again? Yes, that's me.

And who are you?

Smutty or Scabby or what?

-I'm Scummy. -Obviously. Ordinary names.

-Nice to meet you. -Follow me.

Okay.

Watch your head.

Hold on, Scummy, I have a question.

Is this Narmin's house where she lives? Is this her social status?

Because I can only afford to buy a wedding ring for 600 pounds.

Pardon me.

Or are you just showing me around, then we'll go to Narmin's house?

What? Wait.

Oh, gosh!

Keep going. I'm not allowed to get any closer.

May God help me.

Mr. Tahsin. I am Khuza'a, the chief servant of Mr. Shahawy.

Come in.

Okay.

Do you see well?

Oh, gosh!

-Did you see the corridor? -I couldn't watch it at the cinema.

-But I hear it was a great hit on TV. -The corridor ahead of you.

The corridor.

You are pointing up. Correct the direction as this is my first visit.

You will walk down the corridor,

and then you'll see a second one.

You will walk down it till you reach the great master,

and the great lady.

I am leaving.

Are you embarrassed to admit that you are blind?

That's Okay. This is fate.

Let's see the corridor.

This atmosphere!

-Oh, gosh! -Tahsin.

-Narmin, where are you? -Tahsin.

Am I in One Thousand and One Nights?

-Tahsin. -Who?

Narmin, I am so happy to see you.

I swear I thought I'd never see you again.

I saw horrific things before I got here.

-What is this? -These are flowers,

which I bought for you for nine and a half pounds,

but I bought it thinking that you live in a normal apartment.

Now, after seeing this huge edifice,

no, it doesn't suit you, I'd rather burn it.

Okay, come.

Is something wrong?

No, the Italian lamp always catches my eye.

Unbelievable! The masks are perfect.

You know, this is my first time attending a masquerade party?

What are the war drums for? Will the Tatars attack us?

It is the dance of love. We perform it for our loved ones.

That's why we call it the dance of love.

And I am a great dancer.

Welcome to my party. I want everyone to have fun.

Not only at the party, but also in life.

Above ground and underground.

This is an opportunity to greet my family, the Mongooses.

And the Offenders and the Unjusts.

And the Bastards.

And every disgraced family who were honored by their presence today.

I honestly find the names pretty sloppy. It doesn't seem right for the party.

On this occasion, we would like to salute our very dear guest,

for whom this party was held,

because he was the reason for saving our daughter Narmin

and she was given a new life.

Not only that, he also stained it with his own blood

and this is not just blood, it is human blood.

A human?

Give it to my guest, Tahsin.

Come up here, Tahsin.

You are indeed a human.

A human!

Give a speech.

-A human. -A human!

This is driving me crazy. Sorry.

Tell us how you felt after saving Narmin.

It was fate, and no one knows what might happen.

And you know that a human...

A human!

Enough! Then what?

From this position, I salute everyone,

and I'd like to mention Trashy,

Lowly and Scummy, and the squint whose name I do not remember now.

Basically, I salute all the filthy families present

whom the Hajj has mentioned and whom he greeted before. Thanks a lot.

Shahawy Mongoose. The elder of the Mongooses.

-My uncle. -Asia Mongoose.

The elder of the Mongooses.

My mother.

Qandil Mongoose. Little sprite.

-My cousin. -Tahsin El-Shabrawy,

General Manager of the House of Horrors in the Pearl amusement park.

On this occasion, I am honored to invite you to visit the amusement park,

specifically the House of Horrors,

but on the condition that you are not faint-hearted,

because the demons in there are almost like the real ones.

Welcome, Mr. Tahsin, to our kingdom.

I mean, our family. Our family is very big.

Some of them are with us and some are against us.

Some are above and some below.

Honestly, my whole family is from below.

Tell me your requests. Why did you come?

Go ahead. Speak!

Right. Why did you come?

We know you want to marry Narmin.

Frankly, sir, she told me that you would agree,

but after I came and saw the splendor of the house,

if I were you, I would not have agreed, just the chandelier is enough.

-We agree, Tahsin. -Drink.

Sorry, I don't drink in strangers' homes.

Especially on the first visit, I feel shy...

Mr. Tahsin, drink!

Fear not, we won't put poison in it now.

There is a time and a place!

And as a sign of our good faith in you,

and our blessing of the marriage,

we will present you with a simple gift.

-May you show gratitude. -No, Mr. Shahawy,

I did not expect such hurtful words from you.

You hurt my feelings. As a man, I am supposed

to bring my bride a gift, not the other way around.

If you want, you can lend me 15 pounds for the ride back,

because I got robbed on my way here.

-Here it is, Mr. Tahsin. -Thanks.

-Excuse me, what is this? -This is a gold bar, Tahsin.

A simple gift from us.

Is this real gold or fake?

-This is real gold, Tahsin. -Won't you take it?

I can take it.

How can I not take it, sir? This would be rude of me.

We have become family.

You didn't answer me about the 15 pounds. Transportation fare.

-I will suffer to get home... -15 pounds?

I will accept 12 pounds.

What's wrong, Shahawy?

This human is either stupid or pretends to be stupid.

I have no problem with his stupidity, but if he's pretending,

it could be very dangerous.

If he's pretending to be stupid, I'll separate his flesh from his bones

-and eat him between lunch and dinner. -We'll see.

Anyway, I agreed with him to stay here for a few days before the contract,

-and then we'll find out. -We'll find out what? Is that necessary?

How can you say that, Asia?

This is one of the laws of the great-grandfather of the Mongooses

to preserve offspring.

He said, "As long as you have the blood contract, you can sire here and there."

What in the name of Allah?

Come here, dude. Who are you? How can you enter like that?

-I'm the postman. -So you enter homes like that?

-What is it? -A letter with acknowledgment of receipt.

Give it to me, may it be good.

-Sign here. -Take it easy, man.

What's wrong?

-Go. -Bye.

Come here. Are you crazy or what?

-Don't act crazy! -Bye!

What is this?

In the name of Allah. May it be good.

May it be good.

No way!

Oh, God, praise be to you.

Oh, my God.

This is my brother Tahsin, folks.

He must have received good news that made him dance with joy.

Leave that damn phone alone.

Look at this. Do you know what this is?

What? Make me as happy as you are.

This is the store license.

-Our store? -Yes.

Shabrawy and his children. One moment. Who are his children?

-You and I. -What are you waiting for? Go and get it.

But hear me out. I'll take over part of the store to sell cell phones.

-And a part to film my riddles videos. -Riddles?

I've looked like Sherihan since childhood.

And I slightly look like Nelly.

Frankly, I think you look like Hamo Bica.

Just wait for it. I have prepared all the riddles. Look.

Oh, sorry, sorry

-Sorry, sorry -Sorry.

Sorry. Just calm down.

I'm going to get something done real quick,

and I'll be back to see what that shop license is all about.

Something more important than the store license? What is wrong with you?

We've been waiting for it since I was in middle school.

Excuse me, love, I won't be late.

-Are you okay? -Yes.

"Oh, sorry, sorry," the girl has gone mad.

Tahsin is acting really weird, folks. I feel like there's something to it.

We have prepared a program for you until the day of the contract.

The marriage contract, Tahsin.

Then I'll take you to your room so you can settle in.

Lunch at 15:00.

And at 16:00, we'll have a truth session together.

And at 19:00, we'll examine your body.

Excuse me, but I have an important thing to do at "140:00."

-I'll finish it and be right back. -Are you joking?

I'm not joking. I apologize to you and your choir,

but this thing is important to me and my entire family.

Didn't you and Narmin agree that you would work with me?

Indeed, and I am honored to,

-but... -No! You can't work with anyone else.

Your work with us will also please you. What do you say?

If you agree, we will proceed,

but if you do not agree, leave on the same boat you came in on.

And let each of us go their own way.

May I ask a question? Just to be sure.

Will the work be rewarding?

-It will be very rewarding. -Okay then. Let's hear an ululation.

There is no need. The time is not right.

-Come with me, I'll show you your room. -Just a moment. I want to shake your hand.

So cute.

What happened? Was this hypotension or diabetes?

-Get up, Tahsin, I'm sorry. -I apologize for disturbing you.

Sorry. Ouch! Gently.

Are you crazy? Behave!

I don't want any childish games, understood? Get lost!

Your house is very strange. Is it rented or yours?

We have inherited this house from my grandfather, the great Mongoose,

-and have kept it as is. -May he rest in peace.

But it seems that your grandfather at the time was the governor of Egypt.

He was really like a governor.

This luxury is definitely the property of an important man.

Where is...

-What is it? -Nothing. I thought I saw something.

And I really like this mongoose.

-It's African, it no longer exists. -Are you an animal expert?

I studied Veterinary Medicine for two years, department of mongooses.

Department of what?

-Mongooses. -Only two years?

The mongoose diploma is only two years, and then you graduate.

Come with me.

This is your room, Tahsin.

Unbelievable.

I can't believe what I'm seeing.

You must be joking, Narmin, right?

-Do you like the room? -That's not my concern,

surprisingly, it's exactly like my room in our house.

The bed is the same, the lamps are the same,

but the difference is that I use energy-saving lamps.

-Narmin! -What?

What are you doing?

-What am I doing? -I am shocked.

Why shocked? This is normal.

This grand edifice

and a beautiful woman like you,

-crochet on your waist, it excites me. -Crochet?

-Yes, crochet. -I can't be in the same room with you.

-Why? -Postpone this for after the wedding.

Let's wait for after the wedding. We'll make out then.

-Tahsin... -What?

Oh, gosh!

A bed just for me! I can't believe this!

What is this? This is one of those things they use to change clothes in old movies.

Wow! Unbelievable!

Come, Mom, to see the riches... No, don't come, Mom.

I don't want anyone to disturb my mood, I will live in this edifice alone.

How generous you are, Lord!

You were generous to me... What is this? Whose room is this?

It must be mine, no way they gave me a neighbor

to bother and annoy me.

No! They know better. Mashallah!

God, what is all this?

Oh, gosh! I understand!

This is definitely my office.

They are very considerate, a bedroom and an office.

I end the meeting and wash my hands here, be happy and take a dip here.

What is all this? This place is better than the Tawfiqia Club.

-Is something wrong, Tahsin? -What?

-Is something wrong? -No!

Bon appétit.

Nothing strange. Didn't we agree to have dinner together?

Why are we far from each other?

-After the marriage contract, Tahsin. -Inshallah.

I want to express my admiration for this meat.

Delicious, this is the first time I've tasted meat like this.

Which animal do you think it is?

This is definitely the meat of an animal I have never eaten before,

either an ostrich or a deer. But it is very tasty.

This is human flesh.

Dear Qandil, don't joke about this because I can easily get sick.

-This human is so stupid. -Boy!

Shut up or I will hang you!

Have you finished your meal, Tahsin?

-What? -Have you finished your meal?

If it is important, I can put the rest of the meat in bread to accompany you.

-Meat in bread? -Can I puncture his eye?

Are you crazy? Not now.

One hundred and eighty, 181.

-The number is correct, sir. -Close the safe.

This mongoose is named Titi. Our family symbol.

He seems very important. I saw a picture of him in the hall upstairs.

Leave us alone for a while, Titi.

Sir, this door is electric, isn't it?

Tahsin!

Do you know what I hate the most in the world?

Of course, sir, when your data plan is deducted from your credit,

not from the quota itself, this is very painful.

-Treason! -Has anyone told you something about me?

I don't need to be told about you.

I know almost everything about you.

What interests me is getting closer to you.

And to go deeper into you.

Tell me about you.

Sir, I can give you my ID, and it has all my personal data.

I don't want your ID!

-I want to know you as a human. -A human!

Enough!

-I want to see one of them. -Shut up.

I want you to tell me about an unforgettable memory of yours,

and every time you remember it, you get very upset.

Why?

Let me sit down.

-I have a lot of emotions. -Sit down.

It was my first day at university.

Because of that situation,

I did not go to university for four years.

Four years? Why?

I made a fart bomb in the auditorium and it was crowded that day.

A bomb? How many explosives did you use?

What explosives are you talking about? I ate a lot of eggplant.

Did it make a sound?

The sound was very loud, Uncle Khuza'a.

FYI, sir, it is medically confirmed that suppressing a fart is dangerous.

You have to release it to be relieved.

Because it causes bloating.

What is this?

-Sir, why is your face... -Red, right?

Very. This is evidence of gas formation in your stomach.

This man and I will leave, and I recommend you, sir, to relieve yourself.

Shut up!

I didn't bring you here to hear about your history of farting.

Tahsin, I want you to go back.

Okay.

-More? -No, go back in memory.

Go back.

It was my first day at school.

I felt afraid and strange.

It was the first slap on my nape that made it swollen and inflamed.

That day the teacher asked me...

-What does your father do? -I didn't know what to say...

Answer me, what does your father do?

But he put too much pressure on me...

My father is dead!

-Stop. -My father is dead!

-Stop it. -My father is dead!

My father...

What? The Earth sank under my father and swallowed him.

-Really? -Yes.

And my mom too. My mom, Gao.

I saw her and she...

-And she... -Me too!

-I saw my mom, Roh Alfouad... -Enough!

Enough about our mothers.

I have no more questions.

-But I have a request. -Consider it done.

Anything that happens in this house, Tahsin,

is a secret between us.

Rest assured.

Understood and your secret is preserved.

Another thing, don't leave your room at night!

Understood.

If you see me approaching Narmin's room, stab me with this dagger.

I was raised well and I understand those matters of honor, sir.

-I'm done. -What do I do now?

-Leave! -Alright.

-So filthy. -Excuse me, sir.

The loss and deprivation of his father...

affected him, which is the reason for his weak personality.

So what? What we saw on the seventh Earth,

the master of demons himself did not see.

What's wrong with you, Shahawy?

We are goblins. How can you compare us to humans?

You are right. We are not just any goblins,

we are the Mongooses.

In today's meeting, we will discuss the latest developments in our business,

and the conditions of our clan. And I am now pleased to inform you

that we are close to the expansion that we have planned for many years.

And now we are everywhere.

You get my point, right?

Yes.

I now open the floor for discussion, go ahead.

I am the representative of Mr. Ashmoh.

And he informs you, Master,

that he will take up his own work from now on.

Meaning he won't pay you any percentage, because he refuses to share his effort.

Master, I am nothing but a messenger sent to you.

Well, messenger...

go and tell him I'm coming.

Next.

Dealing with humans has become difficult, Master.

They don't think,

sense, feel,

or anything like that, Master.

Why don't we eliminate them?

Eliminating them is inevitable,

but not with our own hands, we cannot do that.

We are not allowed to.

But we can seduce them,

and urge them to kill one another with their own hands,

because they are fools.

And until that happens, I want you to get it together.

Wrong. Our master didn't mean that you get it together like that, but like this.

I want to hear the Grand Oath before I set you all on fire.

"No Jinn nor Humans, Mongoose, Mongoose, Mongoose!"

"Mongoose, Mongoose, Mongoose!"

"Mongoose, Mongoose, Mongoose!"

What was that?

What was that?

I am very hungry.

Do not leave your room at night.

I am hungry. What can I do?

Tahsin is forbidden to leave his room, as ordered by Mr. Shahawy.

-Understood? -Understood.

Khuza'a. Khuza'a the squint.

My room is too far away. Where do I hide? He will catch me.

Tahsin.

-You came to play with me? -Shut up, boy!

I am not in the mood to play.

Tahsin. You will play with me.

What is that? You pull a sword on me?

Damn you! I swear I will tell your father!

Kid!

Shit!

Little Qandil. I am older than you, and this is not right.

I forgive you, and I won't tell anyone what happened.

I was hiding here due to special circumstances.

I won't tell anyone and I will walk out this door without being noticed.

-Walk out the door? -Yes, I'm walking out the door.

What is that? What kind of magic is this?

No, I am injured.

Are you licking my blood, Qandil?

Tahsin?

God, that boy is possessed.

He is definitely possessed. He might eat me.

Oh, gosh!

Oh, gosh!

Titi?

What a strange night!

What is it? Why are you in my way, Titi? Step aside!

Go away, I want to enter my room.

Go away! I'm not in the mood to joke with you!

Go away!

Oh, boy! Go away!

Is it simple to leave your frame and go back into it?

Oh, gosh!

Oh, gosh!

Why so grumpy?

Why?

Take it easy, Titi.

Guys!

Titi!

Don't bite!

Titi! What is this shit?

That's enough!

What is this?

Oh, gosh.

Oh, gosh.

Oh, gosh.

You are a zombie, right?

A real zombie.

I'm going to run.

What is this ominous marriage? Am I marrying Dracula's daughter?

What is this?

What is this I hear?

What is this?

Don't bite!

Don't bite!

Didn't I tell you not to leave your room at night?

You did.

What is this?

Is that volcanic lava?

Or is it just lava?

No problem.

Titi.

Titi...

And a zombie... all of a sudden.

And Qandil, that white boy!

He has a big sword.

Look!

Why?

We are...

But there is something.

Wipe this memory.

Tahsin.

Tahsin!

Tahsin!

Tahsin!

Tahsin!

Good morning. What's wrong?

I feel pain all over my body, Narmin. It is as if a train had run over me.

All because of the nightmare I had.

It's good that you woke me up before I got hurt.

-What nightmare? -I remember nothing from it.

I am sorry.

Why do you cover your mouth when you yawn?

Do I cover my mouth? Am I naive? So that the demon won't pee in my mouth.

-What? -What?

-What did you say? -I didn't say anything weird.

These are rumors.

Demons are very clean and they would never do that.

-Narmin? -What?

I just realized that you are very funny.

You have a sense of humor.

How funny you are! Demons never pee...

Funny! Look, what is this?

This is a suit from my uncle. You will go on a mission together.

-A mission? -Tahsin.

You must prove to my uncle that you will do everything he says.

Or we will not marry.

I would sacrifice my life for those eyes.

I'll see you downstairs for breakfast.

Careful going down the stairs. Narmin?

-Any fatty meat left from yesterday? -I'll see.

-Look, Narmin. -What is it?

-Won't you give me a kiss in advance? -After the wedding.

After the wedding.

-Did he go out last night? -Yes.

So weird. He remembers what happened like a dream.

I tried to erase what he saw as much as possible,

and replaced his clothes after he visited Master Qandil and played with him.

Try to take it easy on him until contract day, okay?

Okay.

Ashmoh Anzoh.

I waddle and glimmer.

Don't tell me you don't understand.

I will waddle and show you.

If you can't handle demons We'll light the matches

We'll have fun this holiday night And we'll shoot you into the air

Now is the time

Haba

I don't have anything to worry about

It's okay, I don't care, it all went south And I have nothing to do with it

Keep wailing and wailing We don't even care

Let's do something new And pass on something useless

Now is the time

Haba

Many unnecessary questions No need for nonsense

Money, rumors and hugger-mugger Even though we're not a fan of yelling

Haba

Everything went wrong And everyone in the hall

Hopefully will take out their deposits

The Mongooses Will never leave humans alone

Just know that

He will pay you a visit Without you even realizing

Now is the time

Haba

Come on, boy Now it's the magic and the fuss

It's an easy matter

Haba

Haba

Haba

Sir? Is the task at hand important?

Of course! And at the same time very simple.

And it will prove to me two things,

first, how sincere your love for Narmin is,

and second, it will prove whether you are loyal to me.

Well, I like being specific. Continue, sir.

-There is a man named Ashmoh. -What is his name?

Ashmoh. He works with us, and he manages the hoopla.

I want you to deliver this message to him,

and convince him to step back and return to serving us.

I do not convince anyone of anything, I will bring him to you crawling.

Crawling? We'll see.

Come on, hero. It's after business hours for the nightclub.

He's probably drinking a glass of wine now and resting.

Won't you come in with me?

How is it a test, then? If he refuses, I will appear before you.

-Take this. -What is this?

It's a whistle, you will blow it three times if he doesn't listen.

And if he listens, how many times do I whistle?

-Don't whistle! -Okay.

-Take this! -What do I do with it?

-Hold on to it, we'll need it later. -Understood.

-Give me. -What is this?

By the way, where's the nightclub?

-See that booth? -Yes.

Go there and call them to open the door.

So filthy.

-Hello! -What do you want?

Are you crazy? You are the one who called.

-Are you a human? -Obviously, you are in a good mood.

Listen, you...

What is going on? Oh, my God!

What do you want?

-You're Samooh, right? -Samooh?

Ashmoh.

Ashmoh Essam.

In fact, I am a messenger, carrying a message from Shahawy.

I don't remember his exact name. Shahawy Gecko or Weasel...

Mongoose?

The message says,

"From Shahawy Mongoose to Ashmoh, the long-tailed."

The long-tailed? You seem to be friends.

"It is on this day and at this hour

that I ask you to come to your senses, dog tail."

-What? -His words, I am nothing but a messenger.

-Keep reading. -"And if you don't obey as before,

we'll put a hot skewer in your ear."

A hot skewer? Like this one?

Why not? Here it is.

It even clears the ear.

Cold.

Very cool move. But it's the first time I've seen that.

-I've seen it in movies. -Keep reading!

"And this one before you,

-though he is a human..." -A human!

Yes.

-"He will make the Earth swallow you." -That's enough!

And I will act abnormally.

Oh, my God!

You will make the Earth swallow me, human?

Make it swallow... Were you not there when I was talking to you?

Do you remember?

What is this? It's a tail!

-Keep reading. -Is this your tail?

-Is it attached to you? -Keep reading.

-Quickly! -Okay.

And he says to you in his letter,

"If you don't come to your senses, Ashmoh,

I will shove you in the dirtiest bottle

and bury you in an underground toilet for a hundred leagues."

I don't know what a league is.

-I know. -Is it well-known?

"And you won't be able to get out of it, even after a thousand years."

-What is going on? -Shahawy...

-threatens me... -Obviously.

If I don't listen? He even stooped so low

as to send a message with a human.

What was that? What just happened?

You know, I'm not to blame for anything. Shahawy is ill-mannered.

Shut up, you fool!

I will flatten you with my tail and crush you with my teeth.

No way! You don't get to say this to me...

regardless of... Shahawy!

Oh, my God! It is true!

Do you want to devour my messenger, Ashmoh, you dog?

I wish it were just that, sir.

He hit me with his tail on my mouth,

and said that Shahawy is filthy, he meant you!

No one enslaves Ashmoh!

I do not fear a chicken-hearted Mongoose!

500 years ago, my mother told me

you would violate the pledge.

And my mother told me 300 years ago to spit in your face when I see you.

I say you clash

and slay each other,

and tell those men to beat it!

Just the two of you, like roosters, let the loser bear the consequences!

-If you lose, Shaloh... -Ashmoh Essam!

If you lose, Ashmoh, enter the bottle without discussion!

And if you lose, Shahawy, good riddance then!

Let the fight begin!

I agree. My men will disappear!

And my men will disappear too!

Damn Narmin and the day I saw her!

I wish I had died in that accident!

This is my last warning, Ashmoh, submit, or I will destroy you!

Ashmoh Essam can never be threatened.

How will this battle end?

-Either we burn or we die. -Burn or die?

Shahawy!

Did the two demons kill each other?

Get down!

We are going to die!

This is for disobeying me, Ashmoh, you dog.

-Tahsin! -What?

Tahsin?

-Command me, ghost. -Where's the bottle?

The bottle. It was here!

Where is the bottle I'm going to imprison this dog in?

Here's the bottle.

Khuza'a, hold this up!

Erase his memory!

And bring him home! I will fly!

Tahsin!

Tahsin!

Tahsin!

I wish I knew what you do to yourself in your sleep.

I wish to know what happens when I sleep.

And why do I wake up in such pain?

You fell off the bed.

Be careful. You'll get smashed.

-What did you say? -I mean, you'll get hurt.

I am smashed, indeed.

Narmin, do you really care about me?

Yes, sure.

Believe it or not, no one has ever cared about me.

-Don't change after marriage. -I won't.

Will you say to me one day, "Close the door behind you, idiot?"

-I won't call you an idiot. -Or naive?

Forget about that.

We will write the marriage contract next Thursday.

And I am ready.

That's why I will boldly ask for a kiss in advance.

What is going on? Are you starting fecundation now?

Fecundation? Am I marrying a bee?

-What does he mean by fecundation? -A polite synonym for what you know.

I told you we are from a conservative family.

-Play with me, then. -This is not possible, Qandil.

-Tahsin is tired. -No problem, I'll play with him.

No matter how naughty he is with me, I will play with him.

Listen, can't we fecundate on Wednesday morning?

I'm ready. What are we going to play? Basketball?

Basketball? You call this game Fortnite.

We call it that? Are you from Brazil?

We'll play it differently.

I know it. I play it with my friends.

But FYI, it's played on a screen.

We're going to actually play it, put the glasses on.

Are you crazy? I already did.

-Put on the glasses. -I already did!

When you see someone, shoot them at once.

I can't see anything with these glasses.

What is this? There is someone there.

-Run. Let's go. -Let's go!

Tahsin is very kind, Mom.

No, Narmin, that's not possible.

He lives with us, and nothing happened.

Why would we kill him or repeat the mistakes of our predecessors

and deprive ourselves of so many pleasant memories?

What are you saying? Do you hear yourself?

-Yes. -Stop watching human shows.

What is this? You talk like them.

But we look like them.

No, we are demons.

We are another race, better and superior to those savages.

And I've told you that time and time again.

We are the inheritors of arrogance

and self-love, and we will never get rid of that.

I'm not convinced, we can change or at least try.

Before I met your father,

I met a man, and I loved him with all my heart.

I spent the best days of my life with him.

He was very handsome.

-Is this handsome? -Let's get to the point.

Before writing the contract, as tradition states,

I erred and admitted our truth to him.

But he couldn't stand it and ran away.

Do you know, Qandil? When I was your age, I was just like you.

I was always playing alone and had no friends.

My father wasn't there.

And God blessed me with the most annoying sister ever.

But now, I have a lot of friends.

And when I marry Narmin, I will have many children

for you to play with.

You're the first to talk to me this way.

And, Inshallah, this won't be our last conversation.

-All right, Tahsin. -Why the violence, boy? Don't hit hard.

-I'm sorry, Tahsin. -That's okay.

Look, can you lend me 50 pounds till the end of the day?

-I can give you a gold ingot. -What did you say?

You won't believe it, Khalifa, I sat at a table as long as our street.

-Where? -In my dream, Mom.

-Why don't you eat? -The pasta is bad.

The sauce is like liquid.

Give him more pasta, Ibtisam. Get me the pot.

You see that I'm tired from all the household chores,

from cooking, sweeping, and mopping... What's wrong with you?

Take it easy, guys. Don't get fussy. Let us enjoy the food.

Tahsin! You know how much I respect you.

Stay out of it, please.

I am the breadwinner, Ibtisam,

and when I tell you to bring the pasta pot, you do it!

It's okay, Ibtisam.

Bring him the pot, that's the ninth dish he's eaten.

Okay, Mom. Okay, Tahsin.

I will do as you wish. Okay.

Has she gone crazy?

Do you want the pot? Here it is, take it.

-Take it. Eat as much as you want! -What is this?

Did you just pour the pasta on me?

I am going to div--

This was a pasta prank with my very crazy wife, Ibtisam.

This is the reaction of my brother-in-law, Tahsin.

-This is my mother-in-law's reaction-- -Who will hit you with her slipper.

Are you going to continue with this nonsense? Why don't you grow up?

Why embarrass us in front of our "fins"? We're kidding.

"Fins"? You are both a disgrace to social media.

Listen, Mom.

I need new socks of the same color if possible.

And I need the bands to be strong

because... I'm getting married tomorrow, Inshallah.

Of course, everyone is invited.

How funny you are, Tahsin.

Just like your dad, may he rest in peace. He was really funny but so naive.

May he rest in peace, but I'm not kidding. My wedding is tomorrow.

And I want to introduce you to the family.

It is a family with special traditions.

I also want to teach you the love dance.

-What is the love dance? -A masterpiece.

I will teach it to you.

If you weren't from Tribe 13 who are the only ones to write a blood contract,

I would never have taken you out of the bottle.

I know.

That's a favor... I will remember.

And my tail too.

Put him back in the bottle right after the wedding.

And you! Do you know what I will do to you if you try to escape?

I know. You'll cut off my tail and shove it in my...

-mouth. -He will not shove it in your... mouth.

Khuza'a... do not... say it.

Enough. He knows where I'll shove it. Prepare for the wedding.

And hide your tail.

As you command, Master.

I feel like we are entering a football match, and the referee is in the middle.

Life is full of surprises.

Even the bride wears black, you idiot.

Mom, her grandfather died this morning,

and I told you, whatever you see here is normal.

-Have I seen you before? -No.

At the nightclub.

Let's start!

Give me your hand, groom. Your left hand.

Look at that sparrow.

You pricked me.

-It's a gentle prick. -Why?

There it is again.

What is it with the sparrow and the pricking?

This is my blood. Are you testing my blood?

No, it's just a small drop for the contract.

But we wrote my sister's marriage contract,

-with an imprint, and then the buffet. -That has changed.

-So this is new? -Normal.

Love dance.

Is that a dance?

I'll dance how I want and rock the whole wedding.

Are you crazy? Tahsin told us to dance like this.

This is not cool. It's my brother's wedding.

Sing, guys. This is my brother's wedding.

In the name of God We are starting tonight

Praise the prophet, the groom is handsome And his bride is sweet and bright

-What is going on? -Step aside.

-Who are they? -I don't know them, sir.

I thought they were your relatives, but I didn't want to embarrass you.

Throw them out, sir.

Throw them out, sir.

-What's up? Are you happy for your bro? -Um...

-For your information, Tahsin. -What?

We met a strange-looking man before we got on the boat,

and he gave me this paper and asked me to hand it over to you.

-To me? -Yes.

-Eat what you want. Have fun. -Okay.

"Your life is in danger, Tahsin. Save yourself or die.

Meet me down at the garden staircase."

Meet me in a minute at Goose Lake.

Goose Lake?

What will I find there? I have nothing to do with geese.

Where is that man?

Goose Lake

is no longer safe.

Wait for the carrier pigeon.

Oh, my God! It really is a pigeon.

What is this?

Who is that man?

That guy seems crazy.

"I'm not crazy, follow me for your own good."

I will follow you.

Tahsin.

What is this? Who are you? What do you want from me?

Please. Have you come to kill me? I am newly married and my wedding is today.

Please, wait for a little bit.

What is it? What is going on?

What's wrong, man? Am I entering the "Arab Mall"?

-Tahsin. -Yes.

-I know this is hard to swallow. -Very.

Because when I take the mask off my face,

you will see something stranger than fiction.

That's really stranger than fiction,

because you're wearing another mask.

Now, Tahsin?

Now it is completely different. I can't believe my eyes.

-Yes. -You met me there a while ago

and told me Goose Lake is no longer safe.

I... I am your father, Tahsin.

"I am your father, Tahsin?"

You're either crazy or a swindler.

I am your father, Tahsin, and I am not dead.

And I'll tell you everything,

but later, just don't have sex with your wife.

Don't make her pregnant.

They'll kill you. This is what they want, for their offspring to survive on Earth.

The Mongooses...

are jinn, and they are not just any jinn,

they are cursed ones.

-Cursed, Tahsin. -What's wrong?

Leave my son alone.

-Who are they? -Leave him alone!

Take me instead! No!

I am no match for you. Take him. Let him burn.

Wait, man. Wait, you who pretend to be my father. How can you be my father?

My father suddenly appears after all these years to kill my joy?

Me, Tahsin? So you believe me,

on your bride's left shoulder, you'll find a stamp of four nines.

Never have sex with her, Tahsin!

Or you will die.

You will die, Tahsin.

-You will die. -Tahsin!

What was that?

-What are you doing here? -Wandering around the cave. How are you?

-They want you upstairs. -Okay.

Want me upstairs? This atmosphere!

And who is that madman who came to me?

They'll kill you, Tahsin, and four nines on her left shoulder.

No, this is nonsense that I can't believe.

My father is dead.

Yes, he is dead.

-Why are you standing so far, Tahsin? -What should I do?

Come closer!

Come closer to what?

-Tahsin seems to be shy. -Why?

We are family. Come closer, man, there is no stranger among us.

Perhaps he is shy because of you, Shahawy,

or you, Qandil.

Leave us, and I'll give you all the details.

I'm not leaving, this is the first time I'm going to see fecundation.

-Where are you going? -I'll call Khuza'a and Lowly to watch.

Tahsin seems uncomfortable in your presence.

-Tomorrow I may call you to watch. -What will they watch?

Happy fecundation.

If you need any tonics, I'm here.

-Tahsin. -What?

Why won't you take off your clothes?

-What? -Why won't you take off your clothes?

-Why would I take them off? -It's our night. Have you forgotten?

Is this marriage or fecundation? I'm confused.

Everything.

-Have you forgotten? -No, not now,

-we have a long life ahead. -What long life? We have no time.

-No, easy, easy. -Just chill.

-You are being too violent. -You won't feel a thing.

-What's wrong? -Wait, I won't take off my clothes.

-Come here! -I won't suddenly take off my clothes.

Look, I'm going to change in the bathroom, until you rest and change.

-What are you saying? -Let go, please!

I won't be long!

Okay? Oh, my God!

I hope you're not a goblin, Narmin.

Four nines.

Under the left shoulder.

Just like my dad said.

Just like my dad said.

It's the mark!

What do I do in this calamity, Lord?

What is all this? What do I do?

There is a law. I'll call the police right now.

They will arrest her and her family.

What police will arrest them? They are goblins.

They might eat the police car.

I will run away.

-What is this? It is too high. -Tahsin.

Yes, Mom. He agreed with you, Mom,

six for the sheep, and four for the goat. Give him what...

-What are you doing, Tahsin? -Nothing, my love.

It's a family problem at home.

-Let's go. -I'm right behind you. I'll change first.

Bye.

Oh, Lord!

What should I do? Do I just jump into this pool and drown myself?

Oh, Lord!

Tahsin, are you shivering?

Yes. I feel unwell.

-Are you okay? -Yes.

-You're shivering. -No.

Don't touch me!

No, our marriage does not mean that we should touch each other.

No, I love your good spirit.

I love your tender feelings.

Tender?

Yes, apart from appearance and wealth.

As you know, the husband and wife must wait at least three or four years

-before touching each other. -Stop joking.

-Come to me. -Still?

-Why now? -What's wrong?

-Is that my liver? -How would I know?

It's my liver.

Sometimes I have liver problems and I lose consciousness.

Here it is. I'm losing consciousness.

I would like to tell you that I'm losing consciousness.

I knew I was unlucky.

I knew it would be a miserable night where nothing would happen.

May you burn in hell, Tahsin.

How did he get out without you telling me?

You didn't tell us not to let him out, Master.

He said he had hives and went to the doctor.

What? He might be scabby, Shahawy.

I suspected he was filthy.

Go find him.

-Where's Tahsin? -He went out.

-How did he get out? -Did he fecundate you?

He suddenly fell ill and fainted.

Don't worry, sweetheart.

You will be fecundated.

"Follow the signs, Tahsin."

THIS WAY, TAHSIN.

GET IN THE BUS

Tell me, bro, how do I get to Matruh?

What Matruh, Dad? It's too obvious that you are my father.

Please, this trouble I'm in is enough.

What is this dust?

I am your father, Tahsin.

I already know, I know you're my dad, there's no need to take off the glasses.

Tell me, why did you abandon us all these years?

Do you know that I failed four years of primary school because of you?

It was not up to me, Tahsin. It was bigger than both of us.

It all started over 30 years ago,

and exactly what's happening to you happened to me.

And you didn't get the store's license, did you?

-No. -And you took the gold bar?

-I took it. -And you abandoned us for gold, Dad?

Didn't the gold tempt you? Didn't you abandon the store

and the heritage of our fathers and grandfathers?

How did you know that?

I never stopped watching you.

I've been watching you day and night.

And I disappeared on purpose so that they wouldn't reach you and kill you.

What should I do now? If I return to them, my desires will surely overwhelm me.

-But... -Is this another flashback?

-Only one more. -Okay.

One day, I was sitting with Asia,

and she mentioned a sheikh named Jaafar.

He is the only one who discovered the existence of jinn families on Earth.

He wanted to kill us, and we wanted to kill him.

But we couldn't, he escaped

and disappeared.

The best cup of tea for Sheikh Jaafar.

Finally, I found Sheikh Jaafar.

If we work together, Tahsin, we can eradicate the Mongooses.

You go and eradicate them, Dad, and when you're done,

-text me, okay? -Tahsin.

Don't "Tahsin" me.

Tahsin.

Son!

Listen, kid, I can't do anything alone.

I could only do so much when I met Sheikh Jaafar. He gave me a spell

that took me to their house, but it didn't get me in.

Well, I got you. What do I have to do with this?

-What do I have to do with all this? -Understand, son.

They won't leave you alone, you idiot.

I don't want you to live on the run as I did.

I want you to enjoy your life, you idiot.

And don't be afraid. I got your back, Tahsin.

This is what scares me.

What is that? Did you report your father, you impudent?

-Did you report me? -How could I report you, Dad?

You think the goblins would come in a rickshaw?

This is Khalifa, your daughter's husband. I figured he could help us. That's all.

-Will this bastard help us? -How are you, my father-in-law?

Is it possible that you were alive all these years ago?

Since you are alive,

I want you to pay the costs of the marriage that I incurred alone.

-Let's see how you will pay. -Idiot! Is this the right time?

-Give me your ID, boy. -Why? Are we at a security checkpoint?

I need both of your IDs to rent an apartment.

I'm leaving to...

-What is it, Taha? Has he gone mad? -Show some respect, he's my father.

Let's catch him before he disappears for another 20 years.

They are watching us, they either suspect us or we are exposed.

The problem is that they sent their most dangerous servant.

Don't be so ominous, Dad. Please don't stress me out.

Don't stress you out? What about that kite?

One moment, I want to understand. Is the one watching us called Kite?

Like Mahmoud Kite or Ali Kite, or is it the bird?

Your questions are very silly, he means the bird, of course.

Calm down, Shahawy, you are steaming.

How can I calm down?

How can a human do this to us?

He's back!

What are you doing?

You are still a squint even as a kite?

-What did you find? -They vanished after entering a building.

Vanished? How is it possible for a goblin to say that?

-Then what? -He was with two friends. One was old.

It is clear that they are looking for an apartment.

An apartment? What for?

Could he be looking for an apartment so we could be alone in peace?

And maybe he'll play in that apartment with his friends.

I should have accompanied them.

What are these justifications?

We only know doubt

and mistrust.

Is that what we learned?

Petty justifications and silly arguments?

What did you leave for futile humans?

Go find it.

Do I look for him as a kite or as a weasel?

As you are, I find no difference. Go.

ALSAAD CAFÉ

You should go back to their home right now.

How can I go back? Are you sacrificing me, Dad?

How would I sacrifice you?

They suspect you now and they need to trust you.

Stay with them for a while

until we get the spell from Sheikh Jaafar.

It's Narmin, she's been calling me since this morning. What should I do?

Tell her you are not a man.

And that you're going to have surgery to transition into a female.

What is this nonsense? Behave.

-Answer it normally. -Normally, right?

-Hello, Narmin. -Where are you? Why don't you answer me?

Hi, Narmin, you very normal human being.

Why are you speaking this way?

Looks like we are exposed, what do I do?

-I'll go get something. -Sit down.

-I'll get something. -Sit down.

Wait for me, my love. Don't go out.

Listen, grill us a piece of liver,

so that we complete the fecundation process successfully.

Where are you?

Me? In a café.

Yes, 15 Mohamed Shawky Street, off Emad El Din Street.

Bye, my love.

-Are you crazy? -Why?

Tell her what table we're at, too.

-I forgot! Wait, I'll tell her. -Are you crazy?

What do you want? I get you.

Are you afraid that she will come here? No way!

She will have to get on the boat, and the boatman will have to row,

then she gets into that mist and smoke and those strange things,

and come all the way from Qanater,

we will be long gone.

But if God wills and she comes suddenly and honors us,

we should invite her to the best cup of tea

-in the whole café. -Sure! I'll get the tea from the grocer.

-God bless you. -And I will bring sugar from the market.

Go to hell!

-And you? -What?

-Won't you bring spoons and cups? -That's an exaggeration, isn't it?

Oh, my God!

Tahsin! Get up!

-Tahsin, wake up. -Tahsin, get up.

-Tahsin, wake up. -Oh, my God.

-Am I in hell? -Where were you, Tahsin?

Honestly, I went to buy a gift for Narmin.

-Don't lie, Tahsin. -Narmin!

-Tell them the truth or I will. -Narmin!

-What is it, Narmin? Speak! -Speak. What is it?

-Tahsin was... -What was he doing?

Tahsin and his brother-in-law Khalifa were looking for an apartment.

Yes. I've seen them do that.

Frankly, I have the right to sit with my wife in a house for us alone,

-and to have a balcony. -Is there a better house than ours?

Our daughter will only live with us.

Go to your room.

Honestly, I want to play with Qandil for a little bit,

I will get to stretch my body.

Yeah, let him play with me a little.

Shut up!

Go to your room! Now!

And you, go to your room.

No. I'm not Qandil.

No way! The decision to go up must be my own decision.

-Go to your room! -Yes, sir.

What is the matter with you? Why are you sighing, Asia?

My heart is not at ease with this human, Shahawy.

But you have no heart.

You are right.

What are we looking at?

I don't know.

What should I do? How do I act?

How do I act? They will force me to fecundate,

and I'm weak when it comes to that, but they will kill me, what should I do?

What is going on? Is it starting?

-What's wrong, Tahsin? -Oh, my God!

-What's wrong? -What do you mean?

I know very well that you know what we are,

I heard you talking.

I could have killed you, but I wouldn't hurt you.

Is there a possibility, even a small one, that you are not like them?

Forget about today,

and think only about fecundation.

Fuck fecundation and whoever invented it!

This is my last chance.

It will be my last day, they will say I fecundated and then died.

This is my last chance to have a baby.

Don't you like me?

This is the problem. I like you so much!

Would you like me to dance for you like this?

Or like this? Or this?

Look, a dance like that can get me killed!

Don't do this, I'm about to give in!

-Tahsin! Come here! -What is going on?

Narmin! What is going on? Put me down!

Please, put me down!

-This is our night, Tahsin! -It's a cursed night.

-Don't stun me. -Come here!

Oh, gosh!

Oh, gosh! We did it!

Done! You are dead, Tahsin!

You are dead!

I deserve it! I could have just kissed her,

but I was greedy.

Coveted the girl, money and gold!

Enough of your weird noises!

Is she going to breathe fire at me?

-Good morning, my love. -Can I go to the bathroom?

Tahsin!

Wait! Don't be afraid, I'm on your side.

-Won't you tell them I knew? -Of course, I won't tell them!

But they will figure it out!

-And when I give birth, they'll kill you. -You say it as if it's so simple!

You say it as if you were telling me a story.

It is my right to live and raise Zambil.

-Who is Zambil? -Our son.

Among those goblins, we won't call him Khaled, we will call him Zambil.

No! There is law and order.

As simple as one plus one equals two.

You know, new theories have proven this equation wrong.

Do you think I want to tell my son that I killed his father?

We have feelings, too.

Indeed, you have feelings. Proof of this is that you will let them skin me.

-Why don't we be optimistic, as you say? -Cool.

I like optimism. What is the percentage of optimism?

-Five percent. -Thanks a lot. Five percent.

Five percent.

Look!

Narmin, you are very strong.

You can eradicate them so we can have a peaceful life and raise Zambil.

I can't. They are my family.

Okay. There is no solution but Jaafar.

-What are you saying? -I didn't say anything.

Listen, let's just be normal until you give birth to Zambil.

Just be careful, this has to stay between us,

and I will pretend to be naive.

Agreed.

I like the name Zambil by the way.

Where are you going?

What a coincidence! I was just looking for you.

I need your permission to go to my job at the House of Horrors.

Three people passed out and I have to wake them up as it is my responsibility.

Know that you are now on our side.

I appreciate it, sir.

Since I made an effort to be on your side, I won't talk about it.

Fecundation must continue until pregnancy occurs.

I promise to do this all day long,

though I'd rather we do it slowly

so that a purebred Mongoose is born.

Can I take your boat to work? I'll be back soon.

What was that? I felt like you were going to answer me but you walked away.

What a door!

What are all these locks? How will we get in?

What is it, Tahsin? Why make everything so difficult?

That easy?

Lower your voices. Respect the place.

Sheikh Jaafar!

Where is he?

-It doesn't look like he's here. -No.

Looks like he's traveled far away.

No way! Please.

He needs to be here to solve my problem.

Especially after what happened yesterday with Narmin.

-My wife. -Did you...

-Yes. -Did you...

Yes.

What was that?

What is that sound?

You fools!

I am dying!

Sheikh Jaafar, do not die and leave us.

Calm down, Dad.

To Allah we belong, and to Him we will return.

Calm down.

-Hear me. -What is that?

Hear me.

You have to eliminate the Mongooses.

What is the spell?

-What is the spell, Sheikh Jaafar? -The spell...

Calm down, Dad. Be strong.

How will we act now?

Shall we bury Sheikh Jaafar to give him peace,

or shall we search for the spell?

Sure, we'll look for the spell.

This is it. Let's go.

Hey. Which spell? Do you know what it looks like?

-No. -So we don't know what we're looking for?

There is only one solution left.

-Which is? -To run away.

Who is holding my hand?

Peace, a word from a merciful Lord.

Are you alive or dead?

Dead? Don't be so ominous.

I was having a short nap. Come closer.

-What? -Sit down.

Come closer.

-I saw you. -Where?

I saw you in my dream right now when I was napping.

-Aren't you Tahsin? -Tahsin El-Shabrawy.

Your name is in the spell.

You are the one who will annihilate the Mongooses,

and you will rid humanity of their evil.

How?

Here's the real spell.

Is this it?

Okay.

I will give it to my father and he will annihilate them,

I will stay with you if you need anything.

No.

You have to throw it yourself into the well under the Mongoose house.

This is your destiny.

You have to throw it into the well from which they came out to Earth,

and from which, God willing, they will return again.

I can't do that. I'm very cowardly.

Don't call yourself that.

You are afraid like everyone else,

but you are not a coward. There is a big difference.

But they are jinns and goblins,

what do I do with them?

A demon cannot defeat a human,

even the most naive human.

Do you think that I am the most naive human?

I'll tell you something,

keep this in mind.

If death is inevitable, it is a shame to die a coward.

I want you to reassure me before I die

and tell me that you can do it.

Say it!

-I can do it! -Attaboy!

-I can do it! -That's it.

-I can do it! -Enough! Do you want me to die upset?

You already said you can do it.

Let me die at ease.

Are you completely dead, Sheikh Jaafar?

May he rest in peace.

What should we do, Dad?

Don't worry. I've had this plan for more than 20 years.

What plan?

Powder bombs, fire and other things

that Sheikh Jaafar taught me to make in order to help us.

We'll stay here to practice together,

then you'll leave, and then we'll catch up with you.

Okay, I'm in.

What is this?

Oh, gosh! Mom!

Mom!

-Ibtisam! -They're very annoying.

-I don't know how you bear them. -Are they dead?

They are trying to die.

And where is little Ayman?

Don't worry.

Narmin took him to play with Qandil outside.

Follow me. I need you on an important matter.

I swear if something happens to them...

-What will you do? -I'll go see what Shahawy needs from me.

Shahawy!

The man who sharpens the knives must not pass by here.

Is there no internet here, madam?

Follow me, I'll show you to your room.

-Did you know? -Did you?

-Did you know? -Did you?

I knew you knew.

But I didn't know you knew.

And now you know that I knew you knew!

Then you knew that I knew.

I know and I'm telling you that I know!

After you know, what will you do?

I will do nothing.

You are the one who will!

You must fecundate until pregnancy occurs.

You and your family of bastards will not get out of here,

or I will do to you what I did to Ashmoh.

-Ashmoh who? -Remember, Tahsin.

-Tahsin! -Is this possible?

Even if it were possible, this is not right.

I've run out of patience.

Have mercy on me.

You have to finish what you started.

-This is your last warning. -What will you do? Skin me?

No, I'll slaughter you and then I'll put you in a pot and we'll eat you.

-You will eat me? -Yes.

-That easy? -Yes.

-Do you remember that meat? -Yes.

But know that my flesh is very bitter.

We will find out.

You will find out?

Is he serious or what?

Yeah, he said they will eat me.

-Why are you late? Come in. -Come in.

I'm afraid.

It's all right, Taha, we are at mankind's service.

The most important thing is that you destroy them today.

What are you saying? We are in this together.

I forced him to come with us.

Do not change the subject. This sack...

has everything from the past years.

This is for you. Hold this.

And this is for you.

This is the spell that you will cast into the well around which they pray.

As Sheikh Jaafar told us.

I just remembered. Wells are underground.

Stand still.

Stay here. Are you running away?

Stand where you are, Dad!

-Stand how? -Don't worry, we deal with goblins.

Expect anything.

Don't worry!

Leave it.

Hello.

Hello. Hello.

-Who is this, Taha? -This is Ashmoh.

He's responsible for their hoopla.

Look, Ashmoh,

will you help me if I release you from this bottle?

Happy freedom, Ashmoh.

Good evening. I'm Ashmoh.

Welcome back.

-Are you with me? -Consider me your servant from now on.

Until the end of my life.

-Your orders? -One order.

To eliminate Shahawy.

Consider it my desire before it is yours.

But if we go alone, we will be defeated.

-Where are your men? -Are you asking me this?

They will appear in front of you in a second.

A second?

Aren't I a goblin?

A second passed, Tahsin.

When we say we'll be back in five minutes, does it happen?

Don't stress me out.

He is late.

He is late.

What shall we do?

Looks like that goblin has escaped!

Goblins have exact timing, Tahsin.

Okay.

That's it.

We will count on ourselves!

The plan is as follows.

-We will advance like lions... -Good.

And if they appear before us, let us retreat like cats.

And we'll jump out of this window.

-I'm with you, Tahsin. -Agreed?

-Agreed. -Put on the belts.

And be prepared for when I tell you to advance, when to retreat,

and when to jump off the balcony. Go.

Let go.

I stumbled on purpose.

This is something called maneuvering. No need to explain everything.

Just lower your voices.

The goblins are asleep, if you wake them,

-our night will be damned. -God help us.

Tahsin is Ubaid's son?

I know now how you knew.

But I still don't know how you knew I knew.

From this device you use,

it has this on it.

For your information, folks, I am now going on a mission to eliminate goblins.

Real goblins. Pray for me and don't forget to hit the like button.

Khalifa Barakat.

-Hit him. -I'm an addict. You had to take the phone.

Do you think, Tahsin, that you will be able to do what couldn't be done

by your traitorous father?

You are still hot, Asia.

But I can do it this time.

What is it, Tahsin? Didn't we agree to postpone this until after the pregnancy?

Do you think I will wait for them to kill me, Narmin?

I want to live my life normally and raise our son,

Zambil Tahsin Ubaid El-Shabrawy.

Whoever knows our secret must die.

-Good evening. -Good evening? Are you entering a café?

-Do something, Ashmoh. -These people are under my protection,

and if you touch them, I will devour you.

You idiot!

They have a spell that will eradicate us all.

Really? Do you have a spell that will eradicate us all?

What's wrong with you, Ashmoh? Have you forgotten?

He is the one who imprisoned you in the bottle that I opened.

I gave you your freedom.

I haven't forgotten, Tahsin.

That is why I will serve you.

And for the record, the servant of a human won't be affected by the spell,

because he is no longer cursed.

Lady Asia!

Lady Asia! I'm very hungry, don't you have something fatty?

Toss the powder!

Goblin powder is going to suffocate us!

Move!

-What? -What?

Oh, gosh!

Shahawy!

My daughter died, Tahsin, before she got to know me.

Don't be ominous, Dad.

She is alive. She is breathing.

We'll leave her here for a while, and we'll go cast the spell,

-then we'll bury her. -What?

I mean, save her. Let's go!

-Let's go. -Quickly.

Come on.

This is a well.

Tahsin, are you sure that these stairs lead to the basement

-where the well is? -Yes.

I remember it well now.

These are the stairs.

Carefully.

What was that? Was that a toilet flushing?

Watch out! This is a zombie.

He is not harmful, he looks terrifying, but he is kind.

I hope you are relieved.

May you both burn in hell.

Why did I get myself into this?

Burn!

He crossed the fire!

Zombie!

Zombie!

-Are you okay? -I am fine!

I thought I just lost you, Tahsin!

What's that sound?

I've heard that sound before.

The bats!

Enough. Watch out!

Watch out!

Watch out!

Oh, God!

Oh, gosh!

What is this place, Tahsin?

I don't remember anything but volcanic lava.

I don't remember anything else.

What is this? What are all these wells, Tahsin?

Which well are we going to cast the spell in?

I don't know. I can't remember.

Good evening.

I'm starting to get pissed off at your greeting!

Mr. Ashmoh, were you able to defeat them?

Tell us, Ashmoh, in which well shall we cast the spell?

I was humiliated

and lost my prestige.

I'm going back into the bottle!

-Throw a bomb at him! -I've run out of bombs.

-You throw one, then! -I've run out of bombs, too.

We don't have bombs, show us what you have.

I will deal with you two later.

I want you alone.

Count on yourself, Tahsin.

To Allah we belong, and to Him we will return.

Betrayal! This is betrayal.

Fear not, they won't get too far.

Look, ghost.

What?

Asia?

Do you think you can escape from me like you did in the past?

That man humiliated you and shamed you among the goblins.

Traitor.

For the record,

you said you'd kill me, but after the pregnancy.

I can burn you.

No.

Help me, Narmin.

Thank you, Narmin.

You should know that

if death is inevitable, it is a shame to die a coward.

What's going on?

I did not understand, explain to me what you just said.

If you're going to die...

-Shut up! -Okay.

What is this? I am pregnant!

And why did you say that now? He will kill me!

This is the first time you are right about anything.

Tahsin!

In the end,

I will cast the spell into the well,

and I will achieve my goal.

And know this,

no jinn can harm a human,

even if he is the most naive human.

Take this, naive human.

Take it easy, Shahawy.

Shahawy.

Cast the spell into the smoking well, Tahsin.

Are you crazy? Boy!

I became one of his servants. He plays with me,

you don't!

No!

Tahsin!

Tahsin!

You helped him? Are you two crazy?

You idiots, do you think that by serving him

you wouldn't be cursed?

You are not my daughter. How could you do that to us?

Nothing happened.

Humans are losers!

What is that?

What is that?

I said from the start that he is filthy!

-Tahsin! -Son!

-I wish I died instead of him! -Tahsin!

-Tahsin! -I wish I died instead of him!

God bless you, Tahsin. I wouldn't have been able to face them, son!

-God bless you. -Tahsin is gone!

We couldn't even film his funeral.

-Tahsin! -Tahsin, my son!

-Tahsin! -Tahsin!

-Answer me, brother-in-law. -Tahsin!

Wake up, Tahsin!

-Tahsin! -Tahsin!

-Tahsin! -Tahsin!

-Tahsin! -Tahsin!

-Tahsin! -Tiha!

Get up, you spoiled brat.

Thank God you are safe, Tahsin!

Thank God you are safe, Mr. Tahsin!

Mr. Tahsin?

-Narmin, who you saved from the accident. -Accident?

Car accident, Mr. Tahsin.

She has been visiting you every day.

Also, she brought a lot of chocolate and candy

from very expensive stores.

I will leave you to rest.

That girl seems to be in love with you, Taha.

Dear Zambil, I made them all forget about what happened,

except, of course, your father Tahsin.

Have I been in the hospital since the accident?

You almost died in that accident.

And what happened?

Was it a dream?

Is there no Shahawy and no Titi?

No...

-Let's go, we left the pot on the stove. -Let's go.

-Is everything okay? -Yes.

Will we see Tahsin again?

Sure.

Someone sent you this, he said he doesn't know you.

-Someone who doesn't know me? -Yes.

Thank you.

Someone who doesn't know me.

Good evening.
