You taxi driver. What are you doing there?

-Hello, sir. l have a passenger... -Please, go to the taxi stop area. Move.

God bless you. Where too?

Do you see this tourism, bus?

What do you have to do with this bus?

__ U ____ _ U__ _____ _ _

l want you to follow it.

God willing.

Wow. A coincidence can be better than a thousand appointments.

-l hate Israel and l would say it if l was asked. -Drop the volume ofthis thing, so you can hear me.

Man, l did some drugs, so l must listen to Shabola, to enjoy it.

Listen as you like, but don't loose this taxi.

-The taxi or the bus, man? -This taxi.

l hate Israel.

So, are you resident in Egypt, Syria or where?

ActualIy after y mother died, l settled here in Egypt. l don't go to _ria too much.

My consolations, Shoky.

Leave the newspapers, there is America's news in it.

What America? All l care about now is to know the news of the beloved, mother ofthe whole world.

lt's just like the rest of the Arab countries.

lfyou come after fim or hundred years you will see the same situation, the same ideas, and the same mentality.

Since the days of Mena who united the two regions, until Kasr Elneel year seventy.

lt's obvious that your morale and dreams are too low now.

Even though at collage days we thought that you will be a big stoy.

What stoy, man? l am ok as a taxi driver.

Vey ok.

lsn't better than being in the unemployment line?

That's a line from Alexandria to Aswan.

And still some people can't see that.

They want to demolish, and destroy tourism.

So the line gets longer and longer.

Like this terrorist Awadin.

lgnore the what the newspapers say, Hosam.

Awadin isn't a terrorist.

Hello.

l can't hear you will, sir.

What is that noise?

Drop the volume of that thing, so l can talk on the phone.

The thing is right here come and drop the volume your self.

l am not joking. Turn it of.

Hello.

Who is this, that person that you are transporting, while you left me in the airport?

Yes, sir. My colleague Hosam Elashy is with me in the taxi.

My colleague at collage days.

-l met him by coincidence. -All l care about now is to have the remote control in y hand.

All this fuss was about a TV remote control?

Where are the Americans going to stay, Hosam?

-ln Blaza hotel. -l will be in Blaza hotel after half an hour, sir. And l have the stuff with me.

Ok. At your service.

Awadin who is being called a terrorist is a graduate of engineering faculty, electronics department, Mr. Hosam.

He fought in 1 973 war, Afghanistan, and the Iraqi Iran war.

Awadin isn't a terrorist. He is a national hero.

Regardless our disagreement about Awadins character.

How do you know all that information?

Because ofthe demonstrations l was detained.

And inside the detention camp there were trouble, and bigger trouble.

Move.

So are you a brother, or a comrade?

l am a brother.

A brother.

So are you a brother or a comrade/

l am a comrade.

We are all comrades here. Right?

Are you a brother, or a comrade?

l am neither a brother, nor a comrade.

So you are with the investigation bureau.

And suddenly l met Awadin.

He had just arrived fromAfghanistan.

He had just arrived fromAfghanistan.

And after we were released from the detention camp, me and Awadin became dear friends.

l can't imagine that Awadin who almost got assassinated by the extremists turns into a terrorist.

That's a long stoy.

-Hello Shoky. -Hello uncle Awadin.

lraq? The Americans are butchering the Iraqis, and the Iraqis are butchering each other.

What are you going to do there?

l am confused. ActualIy an European agency has chosen me to be assistant to its correspondents there.

So l accepted it. l thought l should go to see the truth.

You have seen death like a hundred times in the wars that you have been in.

And now you are going to death by your own feet.

Shoky, nothing in the whole world has any taste anymore.

Ok, raise the cassette's volume as you please.

Mister, l told you that l did some drugs. Get out of my way.

And l am in a great mood.

Ok. Watch your way.

And why doesn't y way watch me?

After the Americans occupied Iraq and he saw what he saw.

Awadin changed.

-He became another human. -But attempting to demolish a tourism cruiser that all of it's passengers were civilians.

That makes him a terrorist.

Opression and tyranny, can make a man like Awadin become just like the media portraits him.

Listen, Shoky.

l am a tourism expert, not a political expert.

But the greatest crime that's being committed against humanity...

ls searching for excuses for terrorism.

What is your name?

Zaglool.

And those who loves me call me Aboelzagalil.

Ok, Aboelzagalil would you allow me to play the cassette for you?

Sure.

Here you go.

lt was them who hit it.

How many years have been under the pretext of terrorism.

What is the matter?

Where have l seen this face before.

l have seen you before.

l swear to god l have seen you before.

l will tell you where have you seen me before.

Please tell me, l don't want to keep thinking and get out of the mood.

You must have seen me when you went to renew your license.

Do you work in the traffic control?

l am general Radwan Aboelmagd.

And l am a nobody, sir. l am a bastard, sir.

l see that you don't like my opinion in Awadin, Shoky.

lt's not that l don't like it. To hear isn't like to suffer from it.

We all have suffered from it, man.

l personalIy has faced harassment by fanatic Americans.

Don't look at me like this, Don't misunderstand me.

l faced political harassment, not sexual harassment.

lt's advised to avoid any psychological excitement.

Nervousness and depression.

l swear thatyou don't think about anything but WOMen .

l swear that you started to get on my nenres.

See you tonight, god welling.

What are you thinking about?

lt's the first new years eve without Hosam.

Let it harden. Let it harden

-Let what harden? -The road. Iet the road harden.

l know. The traffic in the new years eve is always abominable.

Abominable. l am really getting pessimistic with you. RealIy.

Abominable and the road is iammed. Oh my god.

Yes that's it.

This is going make Arabs proud, not your Awadin.

-By the way is restaurant is owned by y compatriot _rian comrade. -Amazing enrichments, Viagra.

No. Don't misunderstand me, y comrade means y friend.

-Ok listen. Iet's eat something until while the road clears. -l can't, Hosam. somebody is waiting for me.

And you must take care of the American delegation. did you forget?

Come on man. Come on please.

What do you like to order, sir?

-Give me a cup of tea. We have no time. -What is that pot over there?

That's the famous Zew soup.

Zew?

This is a nuclear soup, one pot gives you the energy of a thousand horses?

l only need one horse. Just one.

Bring it.

The Zew soup's contents.

Caviar and big Suez shrimps.

Crab from Harghadah.

Marine ocopus ink from Greece.

Left eye of Lokkosh Fish from Lebanon.

Lokkosh fish from Lebanon. It's left eye.

With shredded caviar from Portsaid and essence ofthe best marine seaweed.

Yes. That's it.

Come here. Bring it.

Scoop or Cup?

Neither.

l don't need them.

Oh, lord.

Praise the lord.

l hate Israel and l would say it if l was asked.

l don't care if l get killed, or detained.

l hate Israel.

Sir, l have been with you since morning and you still didn't tell me.

Tell you what?

Are you going to pay the counter's fare or you will use your authority and ride for free.

No counter. Here.

You are going to work with me all day. Here is a mo hundred pounds down payment.

Two hundred pounds?

l want to know what makes you like this song so much?

_ _ __ ___ M_ _______fl

And even after l graduated they didn't leave me alone.

How come?

l kept wandering in the street for about three years, searching for a job. Any job.

But l couldn't find any. So l thought l should go to the lanyers syndicate.

l thought l might find any one of our collage mates, who might has succeeded and opened an office maybe he can get me a job.

Again l was unfortunate.

l found the central security forces blocking Abdelkhalek Tharwat st. end to end.

Why did they block it?

Some demonstrators where standing on the journalists syndicate and protesting against the high prices of sugar and rice.

What did the high prices of sugar and rice have to do with the lanyers syndicate stairs ?

Hyde park.

Hyde park

Yes. The Hyde park.

You are drinking whisky and eating chicken, while we are living on beans.

Do you see, y friend. How did the government greet me?

But ifyou didn't encourage the demonstrators with your calls they wouldn't have became enthusiastic to demonstrate in straits.

You reminded with the ioke that was told about the journalists syndicate stairs.

What about the mayors syndicate stairs? l mean the journalist syndicate stairs.

-lt was said that they were going to prosecute the architect who built it. -wm?

Because he made a twenty steps of stairs.

So the opposition could make use of them and annoy the government eveyday.

This ioke confirms that the Egyptian people are so great, Shoky.

Even in disasters and crises they never surrender to despair. Allways making jokes.

Always.

Step out of the vehicle, both ofyou.

Let him open the trunk, and check his licenses.

Even ifyou are in a hury, god can delayyou.

This is y cloths bag, sir.

-What is this? -This is the N remote control, it broke down and l am taking to repair.

-Open this bag. -Mr. Officer, l am in a hury.

lfthere is a fine l don't mind to pay it so we can go.

lfthere is a fine l don't mind to pay it so we can go.

What is this?

This isn't mine, it's his.

This is a baby doll.

Baby doll, and there is a pack of invigorators with it.

So ifyou need one or two, l don't mind.

Noticed that this taxi has been following the bus since it left the airport.

l gave orders with that.

-You? -Yes.

And who are you?

l am Hosam Elashy the supervisor ofthe American delegation. Here.

Ok. l am sory for the inconvenience. We are just doing our job.

Would you excuse me l need to... you know Zew.

Oh, sir.

You brought bad memories back to y mind.

lsrael has deprived me from my brother, Saed.

-They killed him in Rafah. -But what was he doing in Rafah?

He was just an ary recruit.

The bastard Israeli soldiers shot him while he was inside his guard room.

Ncourse our government protested.

And they lied as usual. They said that they were shooting at some palestinians who were smuggling weapons from Egypt.

God rest his soul. All of us were praying that he finishes his militay service and return to his job.

What educational certificate did he hold?

Athletic education diploma.

So must has used to work as a coach or with a folklore band.

l wish he did.

ActualIy his iob was to clean after the animals in the circus.

But how could he accept such a job?

Wasn't it better than starving, sir?

His salay was one hundred and fif_ pounds per month and it made us in no need for anybody.

How many ofyou where there?

Where were.

Three girls and...

Seven person.

How could seven people make living on a hundred and fif_ pounds?

That is communism, sir.

Communism is about justice, Zagloul.

__ _ __ ___ M_

How?

Let me tell you how.

ln the circus they used to slaughter a donkey eveyday.

To feed the circus animals.

My deceased brother hated injustice.

So he used to divide that donkey's meet between the animals and us.

l love Egypt, and l hate Israel.

Hasn't you got enough ofAmerica, why didn't you come home?

Shoky, l endured alienation and humiliation in America to able to continue y medical treatment.

What medical treatment?

l touch wood. You look vey healthy.

l know that l look vey healthy. Since l took a ride with you, you have been saying news.

-l didn't mean that. -l know.

But those who have children are immortal.

And l was deprived from having children.

Oh, my god. Bad luck.

What luck. It's not about luck.

- what is it? -When l was doing y militay service...

l was injured.

An injuy that deprived me from the ability to have children, eventhough l was vey happy in my marriage.

But l was deprived. Oh god.

Mercy lord.

Life never gives evemhing to an individual.

l know man. Oh y god. l know that life never gives evemhing to an individual.

But thank god. There is hope now.

That l might be a father.

-That's good news. -Of course. Thank god.

While l was in America l learnt that there is a hospital that treats cases like mine.

-l stayed there for the whole year. -An entire year.

An entire year.

And eventualIy the tests showed that l can be a father.

They didn't iust take control, they totalIy dominated.

Please explain to, Hosam who exactIy are those new consenratives?

Please explain to, Hosam who exactIy are those new consenratives?

For an entire year, Hosam.

For an entire year.

My hormones have been low, my dear.

And l have been waiting for the day to make you happy, and be a mother.

My darling, by god's help l will set your hormones right.

lfyou iust be silent for a while, you will be a mother.

Wait. Wait.

Wait for what?

lt must be brown.

What must be brown?

His hair, darling. It must be brown.

All right, as you please, madam.

All right.

What is this?

What is this?

What is this?

Close you eyes.

What is this?

Mr. Azy Eldamanhoy, one ofthe greatest investors in Egypt and the middle east.

l hope to make a successful business in the area, in cooperation with you of course.

And specially in Egypt.

l represent large and international companies in America.

We will make large and serious business.

Follow me to the warehouse that's behind the hotel.

Follow me.

We are vey sory, Sameeha.

Adel returned suddenIy fromAswan. He wanted to surprise me.

AcctualIy we are sory, Mr. Adel.

There is nothing to be sory about. You can consider you self at home.

We can't.

l am sory. We didn't know that your were coming.

Let's go.

Please stay.

We have to go.

Let's keep to another day.

Any way, Happy new year.

Happy new year eveyyear. And actually It was a great surprise. great.

Let's go.

Are you singing while bombs are falling around us?

Before we leave the airport, l told you that the resistance has blocked the road.

You said drive on.

ApparentIy l will drive on to y death.

There is onIy one god and we will die only OnCe.

l can tell from your accent that you are Egyptian, am l right?

Yes.

No hard feelings y friend, we thought that the Americans will bring blessings and dollars will fall from the sky.

But nothing fell on our heads but bombs that destroyed our homes and orphaned our children.

And now we are regretting.

And missing the days ofSaddam.

But Saddam paid the price for his arrogance and his disrespect to the opposition.

But in the days of Saddam the rich and the poor, neither of them stanred.

And there was no sectarian discrimination bemeen Shiite and Sunnies.

We were all Iraqis.

But the accursed Americans are butchering Iraqis like chicken.

And in addition to that, the sectarian militias...

And the militants who came from foreign countries to increase the fractions between Iraqies.

Between Shiites and Sunnis to make them slaughter each other.

Like ifthey weren't one nation and one religion.

We took nothing but bitterness.

Do you love Saddam?

l don't love Saddam, and l don't hate him.

But in this current circumstances. l wish ifyou can return, Saddam.

But what about the people that Saddam executed?

My friend, Saddam has governed Iraq for thim five years.

Those who were killed by Saddam in thim five years, are allot fewer than those whowere killed by the militant and the Americans in one year.

One can't know anymore If he is going to return home safe.

We see death evey day.

So evey time l heard an explosion l ran like a mad man.

To see if someone of y family was killed.

So why are you silent, Egyptian?

What should l say?

Where is the economy? Where are our children? Where is Iraq?

Where are you, god!

Mr. Awadin.

Colonel Peter is waiting for you upstairs.

They told me that you want to see me.

l have information that proves that you have connections with terrorists.

May l correct the information?

Go ahead.

l actually have connections, but with the Iraqi resistance men.

As long as the resistance men intends to kill American soldiers , they are terrorists.

But resistance against occupations is internationally accredited.

And what you said, isn't a justification to arrest the Iraqi resistance members, put them in Abo Ghareeb camp, and torture them.

You were a militay man. So you do know.

l do y due towards my home.

And the laws of war always change.

Any way l invite you to lunch at y office in Abo Ghareeb camp tomorrow, so you can see the truth with your own eyes.

l think You will not reject my invitation.

l have the right to accept or reject.

You must know, Mr. Awadin. That l have been providing your protection since the dayyou arrived in Iraq.

And l refuse you protection.

As long as you refuse my protection.

So from now and on any movement that you make inside Iraq must be by y permission.

ActualIy l am surprised.

ln America, the icon of liberate world.

There is emergency law, Militay courts, detention on suspicion, and spying on peoples telephones?

And what is even worse are the shackles on the media.

General, welcome to the third world.

Awadin's terrorist organization has attempted in the past month...

To demolish a tourist cruiser which all of it's passengers where Americans.

Egyptian police has managed to halt the operation.

-Twins? -My grand children.

l left them when they were six months old.

The first time l was called grandfather was from them.

But in a telephone call.

The worst kind of deprivations is deprivation from famiIy, and home.

lt was your president who deprived you from, home and grandchildrin.

And made you and occupier.

l was a marines officer.

Holder of the medal of honor ofthe first grad.

We are called the cream ofAmerican militay.

Doesn't this cream has any conscience?

Do you know what do l mean marines?

lt mean's the role model of discipline.

We hold the militay command as sacred as the hoIy books.

That why the secret senrice members, are always selected from the marines.

l wish one ofthem shoot him and spare us his evil.

Our system is democratic.

And that assassinations game that you have, has no place in our county.

And who told you that the decisions of war and peace belongs to the president.

We are a nation of organizations.

Not a nation of an individual.

But, don't forget that Kennedy was assassinated.

And until now, nobody knows who benefited from his assasination.

What do you like to drink?

We hold a vey important conference about the challenges of peace, and the role of international peace.

This will have a huge impact.

For example in our company, we are making sure to work in all kinds of business.

So that nobody criticizes us in the parliament or the media. All right?

-Hello, madam Sameeha. -Hello.

-Mister. -Yes.

Yes, Esam. Is there another disaster that you want to tell me about?

No, eveything is fine.

But there is an officer from the security of state investigation bureau asking about you.

And he is waiting for you in the cafeteria.

Dumb. Dumb.

l will look for Kareema to say, hello.

God help you.

Go, my darling.

Here is you remote control.

ls this the remote control?

What is this? Oh y god.

l am sory. l am vey sory.

Where is the bag?

l will bring you the remote control in an hour.

Am l still going to wait for an hour?

An entire hour?

Please welcome with me, miss Sarah Shroder.

President of the American world friendship and peace organization.

Peace upon you.

Peace as word and meaning.

All the divine books has invited to it.

And so did the human principles throw all the ages.

But despite the awareness and appreciation of international societies towards peace and tolerance of others away from violence throw all the ages.

lt's still required to create new spaces for peace bemeen nations.

And l am personalIy concerned with great enthusiasm to listen to you more.

Thank you, miss Sarah.

And now, we start with the questions.

Go ahead please.

Miss Sarah, what is the political goal ofyour world peace and friendship organization?

And who finances it?

l think that the name ofthe organization shows it's goal.

Which is supporting of friendship, understanding and peace between nations.

Throw the conferences and the field researches that the organisation carys on.

Specially that at the current time feelings against peace ae increasing.

And terrorism is growing.

Believe me, Awadin.

Revenge...

Will never bring back what was lost.

Didn't you tell me that when you were in Iraq god gave you back what you have lost in the past?

And that you met the woman that you have always dreamed to mary?

We decided to get married once she returns from Gaza.

Good, then what happened?

Hello. l don't want to receive any calls please.

l said l daon't want any phone calls.

New York?

Connect us please.

Hello, Layla. l miss...

So who is this?

Jerusalem?

Why didn't Layla come with you?

ls she ill?

ls she that ill?

l will tell you.

When we arrived in Gaza to record the protests of the international peace activists.

Who were ioined by Palestinian peace activists.

Who were protesting against the construction ofthe fence.

The fence that will help the Israeli commandeer the Palestinian state's properties.

Get out of the way.

l am not going out ofthe way.

What is your name?

Luetanent first, Danny Ladear.

Do you have a fiancEURe?

Would you like a tank like this one, to crush you children one day?

Because they are defending their county?

lfyour commander's conscience was absent.

Where is yours?

Human being is god's conscience on earth.

And those whose consciences are absent delays god's message.

The reason why l am here.

ls the state that you are in.

The state of boiling from tyranny and oppression.

This is vey obvious in our research.

Even in the most detailed details.

Like jokes, and folklore songs.

Or a song like the song that says l hate Israel wouldn't have spread.

True.

We do hate Israel.

We hate Israel for it's inhumane actions against Palestinians, and we hate it for murdring the captives in 1967.

lt's obvious that you have seen allot of atrocities.

So thank, god for saving you from that hell.

And you returned to your home.

Now it's over. Live you life like eveybody else.

How can l live my life?

Mr. Awadin, Do anything. Anything.

-Get married. -You want me to get married?

How? How as long as the Americans has stolen y manhood?

_ ____ _fl_fl__U ___

When we accepted the atrocities that happens to us eveyday and by eveybody.

-There is no friendship or peace between Egypt and Israel. -Please. Please.

No. No, miss Sarah.

America wants peace.

lsrael doesn't agree.

lsn't this ridiculous ofthem?

And what kind of peace conference is that? In which only Palestinians yield?

This a conference of public relations. An American film.

You are right, Mr. Hosam.

You are totalIy right about Palestine.

l personalIy refuse the oppression against the Palestinian people.

But, let's be rational.

Are you tying to convince me that after the effort of all those long years.

And recentIyAmerica hosting more than fom countries.

ln search for a solution to the Israeli - Palestinian problem.

After all that.

You are still skeptic about us?

Tell one thing that make one trust Americans.

-l must retaliate from the Americans. -How can you revenge?

The Americans have leR the bus and now they are in the hotel.

Then l will bring the hotel down on evey bodies heads.

What are you saying?

No.

l don't agree to such a crime.

What happened to you?

l noticed that your attitude has changed since you met your friend Hosam Elashy.

lfyou want to retaliate Mr. Awadin then retaliate from those who did that to you.

But the people in the hotel are innocent. They are innocent. What did they do?

-ls this what you think? -Yes.

Go get the remote control.

And then we part.

What are you waiting for?

Can you tell me the size of business in which seniorAmerican officials in Irq are involved?

Calm down Hosam. What happened to you?

And what is that aide thing that you are using to manipulated us in Egypt day after day?

We will cut it off. No we will not cut it off.

What is the matter?

God damn the aide.

No to the American aide.

No to the American aide.

Quite Please.

Silence please.

Asthma. Asthma

Shut up you.

No to the American aide?

Where from can we import the crab and all that ingredients ofthe Zew?

Please, people. Silence.

-Call an ambulance. -Watch out.

Ambulance!

l got your cloth bag ready.

This isn't the right time, man. Have mercy.

What about the officer who is inside?

Pass the salte, Kareema.

Aren't you going to eat?

l will wait until the food cools

What's the matter, Sameeha?

You look unhappy.

l am vey stressed Kareema

Are you mad at, Hosam over something?

Hosam?

l think Hosam is even more stressed than l aM.

And what is making you both stressed?

Your fiancEUR's foolish decision made us homeless.

People, y hormones have been messed up for an entire year.

This taxi has been parked here for too long.

-Do you realIy want to know? -Yes l want to know.

Ok meet the mister.

General, Radwan Aboelmagd.

Yes, what is the matter/

At your service, sir.

Please, Azy l want to get out of here as soon as possible. l hate hospitals.

l can't start the begin y new year while l am in a hospital bed.

The doctor told me that you will be vey will.

You know vey well how vulnerable l am.

SpecialIy to truth.

The bitter truth

Today l saw and learnt allot of things.

Come on. Be strong so we can enioy the new year, y big love.

Enjoy?

Happiness.

Do you know what is happiness, Azmy?

l became the happiest person on earth, when Esam brought me your bag and l found the baby doll inside it.

The baby doll is...

The baby doll is wondemul. Wonderful.

Yes, darling tell me In which hotel is that room?

What?

Mr. Hosam.

-Yes. -ApparentIy destiny insists to make meet again.

Have a seat.

Apparently destiny is being a little stubborn towards me.

And intends to do something that aren't nice.

How can l help you.

l want a report with all the details ofthe delegation and the route that it will take.

And also a personal favor.

l want to ty to keep the entire delegation in the hotel until travel time tomorrow.

-Wm. -No need to be worried.

Would you please go to stay with them now, and call me once evey hour?

No. No. What do you mean stay with them?

What do you mean stay with them?

l am responsible for miss, Sarah.

l have to stay near here.

At least for an hour.

No, not one hour. Two hours. Baby doll.

This is unfair.

No, general. No way.

__ __tVg _ _g _ M_fl

lfyou weren't with me now, he would have acted like he was the minister of internal affairs.

Tell me please, sir...

Where do you live?

Why are you asking?

How can l contact you for the taxi project.

Or maybe you changed you mind?

No. No. l am staying in Elclob Elzaynaby hotel.

l like to stay near the shrines ofthe old god fearing

ActualIy, sir ever since you told me about that taxi matter, l have been dreaming about it.

And l have been wondering why would the mister want to help me?

Because you are a good man, And you love Egypt.

What? The international American attachEUR is coming to the hospital?

Ok.

Are you happy now? Your sharp tongue has caused the county a diplomatic crises

-No need to exaggerate, uncle. -Uncle?

As long as l am your uncle, why are you tying to mess up y most important investment project with those people?

Are they here for investment or for peace?

Let go your those ancient ideas. It's a new time now.

What do you mean it's a new time now.

l mean if l lived at the days of royal regime l would have been a supporter ofthe royal regime.

And if l lived during the days of communism, l would have been a communist.

But in this time l am liberal. l support free economic opening.

Oh so you would wear any color, that serves your interest.

Please, Hosam l beg you. Sarah's brother is president of the largest group in the American congress.

That means ifthey get mad at us, my business will be destroyed.

They can cause allot oftrouble. .They can even cut off the wheat aide from the county

Let that aide that's making us swallow our pride go to hell.

God damn the person who made use grow water Mellon and kiwi instead of growing wheat.

Oh, uncle.

Go, to the cafeteria and eat something.

-And what about you, aren't you going to eat? -No.

lf all the police men where as kind as you are sir, then nobody would have ever been oppressed in this county.

God bless you.

Welcome, Mr. Hosam.

l am vey happy with your invitation for the while delegation to Kareema and Esam's wedding.

Me too.

Are you going to stay standing there?

Have a seat.

This is y mothers picture when she was a child.

ln the holocaust camp.

Even though long years have passed, l still can't remember the look in mother eyes when she told the stoy about my grandmother's murder before her eyes.

My poor mother, she suffered throw all her life.

God help me miss Sarah.

And help the Palestinians.

What do the Palestinians have to do with the holocaust?

Than what Hitler did to the Jews.

Hosam. Hosam y love.

FinalIy.

-What are we going to do now? -What?

-What are you going to do now? -What am l going to do?

l know what are we going to do. Come here.

Are you still asking me what am l going to do?

-Cover me are you going to stay standing like this? -Standing?

How can l stand?

Put on your cloths , mister. This is inappropriate.

Put on your cloths , mister. This is inappropriate.

QuickIy, quickIy.

-Security, security. -Have mercy.

God damn you.

My bad.

Freeze, you there.

l want to talk to Mr. Hosam.

Yes, madam. One moment. Mr. Esam.

-Good evening, madam. -Good evening.

l am Sameeha's coworker in the concert.

-They were at our home... -And Mr. Hosam forgot this bag in.

Please give it to him with all love.

-Me and Kareema are in love but the onIy problem is just... -Mr. Hosam will solve it for you. Let's go.

Happy new year. Let's go.

This is the first time l ever hear some good news from you.

Listen. l want you to open your mind and understand me vey well.

l want to get y cloths bag and the bag the Mona has brought.

l will arrive in ten minutes. You have the bags with you and wait for me in front of the hotel.

No, Hosam it's not possible. Not possible in ten minutes.

l must stay with the delegation to continue the program

Let's make one ofthe hotel staff do this instead of me.

And wait for you with the bags in front of the hotel door.

l hope he has understood.

__ _g___ _ _ ___fl

Oh, god. We must clear that misunderstanding Hosam.

Let me just get some cloths.

Then l will go with you, Shoky.

No. Don't wory about it Hosam. l will take the bag for him.

But what are you going to do with this?

___ ____ ___ _n

lt will be a disaster if it belongs to some one from the reception.

All right.

How didn't you notice that it wasn't your bag, darling?

lt looked just like it.

God damn you, Esam.

Don't get mad. l will go search for your bag, darling.

Don't wait time. Go buy me some cloth.

Quickly.

What's the matter?

Here is the remote control.

Thank you.

ls there someone called Peter among your friend's delegation?

Who is peter?

Peter ofAbo Ghareed camp,

l don't know.

l saw him.

That's good. So l can retaliate from him and cool y heart.

But l want to tell you something, Mr. Awadin.

General Mohsen Aboelnaga is staying personalIy in the hotel, and he is putting on heay security.

Welcome. So it's the opportunity of life time.

You have a brain to use and decide.

Take the taxi and get out of the area.

Before l demolish the hotel.

Peace upon you.

Bye.

Hello.

Leave the food, Zaghlol. And come immediately. -Yes, sir.

Thank you vey much.

l will be with you in a few moments, sir.

While you meet Mr. Azmy l will go to organize y part in tonight's party.

Pam? What pam?

-Tonight? -Yes, darling. The new year's pam.

You are going to be there, aren't you?

Oh, lord.

Listen, Sameeha. l have enough trouble.

ls there a problem, mister?

But l must fulfill y engagement.

And also you must not abandon your husband for a single minute.

Not a single minute. Specially that l will be stuck in the airport a few hours later, as you know.

-But what is y fault? -What is your fault?

Your wrong action.

___Q_____ _n

-My wrong action? -Yes your wrong action.

lfyou hasn't left the apartment we wouldn't have been in this situation.

Some security organization has announced a huge money reward for anybody who provides information that helps uncover Awadin Alasioty's terrorist organization.

l am sory, darling.

Pardon me.

The bad luck that l have been facing all day made me loose my temper on you.

Please, stop cying.

lfyou weren't leaving tomorrow l wouldn't have forgiven you.

Yes, that's it..

Be optimistic.

After what happened today, l don't know should l be optimistic or pesimistic.

Be optimistic.

-Should l be optimistic? -Yes.

Be vey optimistic.

l want you to be optimistic.

No. No, Hosam. No, darling.

This is unfair. vey unfair.

lt's him. l swear it's him.

__________ _fl

The that you saw with me in the taxi.

He is Awadin the terrorist.

Didn't you say by your own tongue that he was general Radwan Abolmagd?

He deceived me.

He said that he will start a taxi proiect with Me .

-There he is. -Where did he go?

There he is in the taxi.

Do something quickIy. What's wrong with you. There he is driving.

Secutity. Answer me. Security.

Oh y god. Stop him. Awadin the terrorist took y taxi.

-Here is the battey that you asked. -Great.

_________ __

And fortunateIy the device shows that the bomb is still in the hotel.

Would Shoky betray us and inform the police.

l hope he dose, so l can use the police.

How?

Do what l told you, and you will know.

Here you go, Hosam.

Thanks.

Just until they fill the tank and change the tire.

Please, Shoky l want to ask you for a favor.

After you transport me to Azy in the company.

Go back to the hotel and stay with Sameeha. Maybe l will find someplace.

Of course.

Excuse me, Hosam l want to ask you a question.

Yes.

l feel that you loved Sameeha more than you Ioved Sorayya. Am l right?

Did l embarrass you with that question?

You know, Shoky that Sorayya was admired by all the students in the collage.

And you know that you yourself admired her too much.

But later l knew that she admires you, not me.

What you don't know is that...

Two months after we got married, she got employed as a correpondent for a new agency to cover events in Palestine.

And what did you do?

My fear for her made me be selfish and l asked her to decline the job.

So what was her attitude?

She...

The fact that her brother was a resident doctor in Palestine Made me less worried.

And he managed to persuade her to volunteer in the Palestinian red crescent

But what can l say? Nothing changes.

She managed to capture the brutality of the Israeli ary against Palestinian peopl, with her camera.

And insisted to make a galley for these images to condemn Israel as a terrorist state.

Sorayya made her galley , and Michelle helped her with his relations to the organization in Palestine.

And one day, the Israeli army murdered her brother in a Gaza street.

Sorayya and Michelle insisted to revenge.

And decided to assassinate a maior Israeli Ieader.

But...

No!

Hello.

Stay with me.

What are you saying?

How did you know?

He took a taxi and traveled to Sallom.

To escape throw Libya

God help him.

l hope he manages to flee before the police captures him.

This way, Shoky has swallowed the bait.

How?

lf Shoky betrays me and informs the police that l will escape throw Lybia.

The police will focus their effort on the Libyan boarders to capture me there.

Great.

And this way the security around the hotel will be reduced.

And l will be able to retaliate and l wont need to wory about anything.

What is this?

This is something to remember me with.

Thanks, Hosam it's nice.

Hello.

Yes, uncle.

The meeting will be in the hotel?

Ok. Bye.

l am sory Shoky, let's go to the hotel. We aren't going to the company anymore.

lt seems to be a vey long and unlucky night for you.

lt's too obvious.

l reported him. Why are you arresting me?

lt was me who reported him, sir. Is this the reward? l get arrested?

-l love Egypt. l swear. -Take him.

-And l hate Israel. -Take him.

l hate Israel.

Operations.

Go, go quickIy.

Close it. Move quickly.

l will sign the contracts immediateIy after the company's legal consultant revises them.

l will be happy if the revision was done tonight and the contract completes.

We didn't hear Mr. Hosam's opinion.

Mr. Hosam isn't going to say his opinion until the American way...

lssues a regulation that prohibits hostility towards Arabs and Muslims.

Just like it has issued a regulations that prohibits hostility against Semitism.

lt's obvious from you speech that your hear is full with hatred towards America.

Me and millions of other people around the world dreamed with American democracy.

America that freed the entire world from Hitler's Nazism.

And Mussolini's Fascism.

Ok, so It was America that founded the bases of democracy in the world.

But vey unfortunateIy president Bush even exceeded Hitler's Nazism and Mussolini's fascism.

Because he denied all the people of the world expressing thier opinion.

And he executed his will.

He destroyed Afghanistan.

Struck Iraq.

So terrorism spread around the world.

But hasn't their been terrorism in those countries already?

You people spent three trillion dollars.

_____ _ _n

lmagine if that money was spent on developing the area.

Health improvement and education.

Projects construction.

That would have been the greatest war against terrorism.

Not eveybody in America is good.

And not evey Arab or Muslim is a terrorist.

America isn't all George W Bush.

Also Arabs and Muslims aren't all Osama Ben Laden.

Do you have Idea what dose it mean to murder three thousands and five hundred people in nine eleven.

And do you know what dose it mean to murder and injure more than a million innocent people since 1 948 and until this day.

You must ty to understand us.

Have you ever said something fair and we didn't listen?

And you see us like if all ofAmerica is Bush, Cheney, or Kondolesa Raice.

Didn't you choose them?

And what about you? Who chose your governors?

Do you se the night over Cairo's Nile?

Amazing.

Not like anything l have ever seen.

Eveything in this county is not like anything else that we have ever seen.

Do you like what Hosam said?

_g_0 __g_ __n __ __n

Not your mind and culture.

This is how democratic pam members like you think.

Those people hate us, and l don't know why?

ActualIy, Peter the secret that's now know for eveybody in the world.

ls that Bush's policies have made us the most hated county in the world.

Evey action has a reaction.

What action and reaction.

We came with our armies to free them from the tyranny of their governors .

The terrorist and the extremists.

They are just like the sick who need cure.

And we sacrificed eveything to treat cure.

Nobody take a medicine against their will.

So are you and Hosam are going to stay in the cafeteria till morning, madam Sameha?

Until Hosam goes to the airport?

What can we do, Mr. Shoky? We are unfortunate.

Listen, madam Sameeha. l found you a room.

And whre is that room, Mr. Shoky?

ln Elcolob Elzainaby.

-lt's as good a hotel as this one but... -l don't care if it was even hut.

Don't wory madam Sameeha l have furniture that room myself.

ls it your room?

___flU_M______ _n

But, where are you gong to stay?

Never mind about that. Hosam is my friend.

lt's my duty to do that favor for him.

Him and his wife.

Do you know what is the worst thing in the world?

l know it. It's when human l desire but couldn't get what he desires.

You got it. And this is what is called the space between desire and ability.

Principles just like love stories.

lt involves desire and ability.

For example if l want to kiss you.

Can l do it?

l want is a desire, kiss you is ability.

What mixes the two things?

That thing starts with a kiss.

l don't mean the sexual meaning that you are referring to.

My university teacher was a student for the great philosopher, Pertret Russell.

He always said that a principle has no value unless it was applied in life.

How can l talk about equality if l treat my black colleague in a racist manner.

Or refuse to talk to a student iust because he is a Muslim.

Or refuse to contribute in a quiz because there is a Jewish student participating in it.

Or refuse to contribute in a quiz because there is a Jewish student participating in it.

So what is the real reason for your presence here?

l am here so that the principle doesn't be iust a symbol.

And the romantic dream becomes a reality.

And the concept of peace doesn't remain a myth.

So you want to move from the state of desire to the state of ability.

Nobody recognize light unless they have lived in the dark.

Do you know what dose it mean that some people were deprived from their land, homes, jobs, and economy.

Because a tyrant power has occupied their Iand?

This is why Israel must live in peace.

What?

And the Palestinians must return home.

Yes that's right. But Israel wants peace and Iand altogether.

And Arabs too want peace and land altogether.

Yes but the land belongs to the Arabs. They just demand what is theirs.

He is a former security man.

And there is bad blood between him and the terrorist that we are hunting down.
