EPISODE 16

Give it to me, find another one, go.

Take this.

-It's enough, I'm good. -Take this, it's only two puffs, take it.

Where is Mr. Hawlo? Didn't he say if he's coming back or not?

We're having a lovely night, what do you want from him?

Do you know what I'm thinking about?

How long have we been working with him?

I'd like him to introduce us to Abu Salma once at least.

Why do you want to know him? Aren't you taking your share of money?

It's not about money but it's good to get promoted.

Dear, Mr. Nazem's men are respected men in suits and ties.

Unlike us, we're scarier than the scarecrows in the fields.

Look at him!

-Mohamad! -What is it, boss?

Go and check what's going on outside.

Be careful!

Come here, guys. Go inside! Enter!

Anyone that steps inside shall consider himself dead.

I'll kill him if I hear another gunshot.

Who's the boss here?

Do you know what you are you doing, Jabal?

-Yes, I know, jerk, but do you? -Jabal!

Retreat with your men before you start a massacre.

Tell your friend to put his gun down before I kill him in three, two…

Hisham, put your gun down and don't shoot.

Two!

Sakher, I'm telling you to put your gun down.

I swear you won't take him before killing me first.

It's done.

Sakher…

I promised I'd let you handle this your way.

Release your cousin.

Tell your boss, that's your second mistake with Jabal,

but I swear if a third one happens…

I will…

feed him my bullets and shoot him so many times

and let him drown in his own urine.

DOSHKA IS CALLING

Dear, take some pills, maybe your headache will go away.

Where are you, son? Where are you? Why aren't you answering my call?

When will you quit this habit?

I've been trying to call you for the past hour.

I'm worried sick about you.

You left yesterday and haven't come back yet.

Did something happen? Is there a problem?

No, I can't wait until you come back. You must tell me now.

Chahine?

Where are you now?

Where's your brother?

Sakher is next to me and we are all fine. No need to worry.

I'll tell you everything once I come home.

Pray for us. Goodbye.

Hey, cousin.

Are you feeling calm yet?

No, Jabal, I don't feel good at all.

-Are you okay? Are you in pain? -Only in my conscience, cousin.

I'm nervous and I don't know what to tell you.

Don't say anything.

Let's stay focused on the upcoming problems.

I won't rest until I kill Hawlo.

We sunk Hawlo in his own urine.

We defended our rights and set you free from his own warehouse.

We showed him who's boss and made his men drop like flies.

Why did you bother to do all this, Jabal? I swear, I don't get it.

Shame on you.

Jabal must not be asked such things about you.

I won't forget this for the rest of my life, cousin.

But…

What's wrong?

Something is bothering me. Ease my pain and answer me, cousin.

What is it?

The same question that tormented me for years.

Excuse me, sir. Did the flight from Paris arrive yet?

-Hello, Officer, can I help you? -Is this car yours?

-Yes, it's mine. -Park it elsewhere.

I only need five minutes. I'm just waiting for someone.

Not even for a minute, I told you to remove it.

Calm down. What's wrong with you?

-Take your car and go. -Don't raise your voice at me.

Where will the girl go with all her luggage now?

Can't you wait for two minutes? I can't believe this!

-What is it? -This is a no-parking zone.

The owner is threatening me and talking back at me.

Give me your papers.

It's all right, sir. No need for that.

Stop talking and give me your papers!

-I apologize. Here's a kiss for you! -Arrest him, men!

What do you mean by that? There's no need, it's fine.

Guys! Calm down! Guys! It's nothing.

What is it with you? You don't know who I am yet!

Calm down! What's with you?

I don't know what to tell you.

All these days you've been battling with yourself.

It never occurred to you to actually think once, Chahine?

I went through a lot, Jabal, you're well aware of that.

I was fully understanding, especially when it was still new.

But you made a mistake.

You've wronged me and even wronged yourself when you lost Mona.

All for what?

The obsession they've planted in your head.

Based on what you're saying,

I could have left you to Nazem's men to finish you off.

That way, I could've gotten rid both of you and your father, how about that?

Jabal, calm down. I'm only asking for your help, Cousin.

Help yourself.

Help yourself and remove all these dark thoughts from your mind.

Jabal, if I told you my father is coming out, what would you do?

I swear…

If they asked me to replace him,

I would take my things and sleep in his bed there in a heartbeat.

How about that?

Long live, cousins!

-Yes, indeed. -Yes, indeed.

Get up, dear. Get some rest in your room, it's been a long day.

Mrs. Nahed spoke to him.

He said he'll be very late and might not return today.

Please, go rest in your room.

Neither you nor any of my sisters bothered to come to the airport? Fine!

But you didn't even send a car! I don't believe this.

Calm down, dear.

Calm down a bit. Let's get this figured out.

Where are you now?

That's weird, I sent Hawlo two hours ago to get you.

Where on earth did he go?

Okay, hang up. Forget about Hawlo.

Listen, dear,

grab a taxi and go to our house in Achrafieh.

I'll go get you from there myself.

Forgive us, it's okay, dear. Okay, I'm glad you're back safe.

What is it, Dad?

It's nothing, dear.

Your sister came back in a bad temper.

Of course, she must have been bored to death in Champs-Élysées!

-This line is not active… -Come in.

Mr. Nazem, Doshka is at the door, he wants to see you.

Let him in. Ask the guards to stay vigilant.

Okay.

I don't know how many were there exactly, they were not many but they were fearless.

Those who managed to escape were lucky. As for the rest, they were killed.

Even worse, Mr. Hawlo is nowhere to be seen.

I don't know what he'll do to us once he knows that Chahine escaped.

Are you afraid he'd know Chahine escaped or half of his men were killed?

Mr. Hawlo only cares about his own interests.

Chahine stole our goods and our interests as well.

That's why I came to you, sir. I don't know what else to do.

Leave now, and forget about ever coming here.

I'll handle the rest.

Thank you, Abu Salma. We've had enough.

-As for-- -I said I'll handle it.

Get lost, I don't want to see your face.

-Yes, sir. -Leave!

Good night.

Dad, what about Salma?

Darling, she's in our house in Beirut.

How about you and your sister go to her?

Why? Is something wrong?

Don't worry about it, dear, some mess at work, that's it.

Okay.

Mom…

Mom…

-What is it? -Calm down, take it easy.

I saw you sleeping here, I thought you'd be more comfortable in your bed.

-Did your brother return? -No, not yet.

Okay, dear. Go to sleep. I'll wait for him.

-Didn't he call you? -He did, I'm comfortable here.

What did he say?

Nothing. He's a bit busy.

Mother, are you hiding anything from me?

Here we go. You were going to find out eventually.

Your brothers, Jabal and Sakher, are with their cousin, Chahine.

Chahine?

What are they doing together?

Are they fighting each other?

No, nothing of the sort, but I don't know what's going on.

-So, how can you say it's nothing? -The thing I got from your brother

is that Chahine has been out of sight for a while and they just found him.

Was he kidnapped?

I've already told you what I know.

Your brother will tell us all about it when he returns.

Okay, deal. I'll go to bed.

You do the same, there's no reason for you to stay up.

It's not worth it. Good night.

Good night.

So, Hawlo Bey, where would you like us to start?

Actually, I'd rather we wrap things up instead of start.

Really? Bored so soon?

As you know, I have to work. Time is money.

This is why we're here, your work.

There's a huge case against you, a car without papers.

How will all this end?

Five with spinach and four with spicy tomatoes.

What else?

Yes! Six Kishik. That's tasty!

Has it dried up? Stupid pen!

There isn't a single good pen in this house!

-Have this one. -Let's have it.

Where was I? Yes! Five with thyme.

Hold it, I don't want it with thyme, I want it with spicy tomatoes and cheese.

You've become quite demanding, my lady!

You want cheese? Spice alone is good enough for you.

-I don't want to eat anymore! -All the better!

God damn you!

Haven't I told you not to touch the phone, you fool!

-What's wrong with you? -Haven't I told you this?

Look at me! Haven't I warned you?

-I want to order some food! -You tell me and I'll call for you.

You have no business using the phone, you fool!

Stupid!

Fool!

Help me! Help me, please!

This has returned to its rightful owner.

Is this how you want to play it?

You're gonna keep changing the subject?

I have nothing else to say. What should I do?

Should I create stories just to amuse you?

Look, Hawlo, I'm in no rush at all, I'm a very busy man.

I can throw you in jail until you feel like talking.

Or until someone else talks and gets me out with one phone call.

Are you threatening me?

I'm saving you time.

You are mistaken.

My phone is dead and no one can reach me.

You said what you wanted to say?

It's done. It's done, Abu Salma. Don't pretend you're a wise man.

I'm not ready to hear a word from you.

Why have you come here fully armed?

So you'd hear me and listen.

The arms you're referring to are from your goods.

No such thing has ever passed our lands until now.

This is starting to sound like a broken record.

Besides, you should appreciate this and reconsider things.

All my considerations are tied up to the clans around me…

and the families with me.

Women, children and elderly, all who trust us

and whose lives are at stake while you're playing with fire.

I'm doing all this to protect Al Hayba rather than myself.

With what? These?

No, not with these, but with those they belong to.

They have no friends, you know that.

You threw my father's friendship out the window,

and you're crossing the line with his family after he's gone.

All while living off of us instead of supporting us.

Even your friend, Ghazi.

You betrayed his son for your own benefit and you still want to be our friend?

I didn't betray anyone.

He chose to stand against me.

You allowed someone like Hawlo and his people

to have their way with me?

Where is he now so I can slaughter him?

Where is he?

Hawlo had his share.

The police arrested him and put him in jail.

God knows if he'll ever get out.

You have killed half his men and taken your share in full.

What more do you want?

Nazem, my friend.

Calm down, stop being so restless.

My cousin's matter is settled now with the death of two or three men.

Here we are.

If you want a war, we are ready.

Then, my shoes will be your nightmare

or you pull your men out and stop this instantly.

Are you saying this to me?

I'm not done yet.

The land of Sheikh Al Jabal is unified once again.

If Sultan died, I'm still alive.

God-willing, we shall honor his word as we honor our names.

Weapons from outside to kill people from the inside.

Since you are remembering your father…

it would do you good to remember how he died.

What do you mean, Nazem?

I mean, it is a big game.

I might face the same fate as Sultan.

I'm not ready to adopt Sultan's positions.

I'm not ready to face the big players and lose my life in the process.

You should take care as well.

You should protect yourself and your family.

My dear Jabal…

It's a new day.

We are all forced to do this, we have to protect ourselves.

This day is not yours.

We know what we're doing. We can manage big players.

Jabal…

cut to the chase.

What do you want?

Since there's nothing to hide anymore…

look.

I got you your load so you'd throw them in front of your men

and cut all ties with them.

Tell your men to never come close to Sheikh Al Jabal's family.

Act your age and close the subject.

Look…

do you know our beloved Kim of Korea?

Kim!

By God, if this happens again, I'll use this rocket on you

and blast you.

Understood?

-Welcome. -Hello, guys.

What did you bring us?

I got some shrimp and avocado juice.

Some toothpaste and toothbrushes as well.

Are you trying to be funny? Just answer the question.

As always, some pastries.

Search him.

He's clean.

Phone.

Here you go.

Get in and deliver them fast.

Okay.

What's your problem with this guy?

You take his phone every time while it barely works.

Daaboul…

better safe than sorry.

Thank you.

I'll give you the money in just a second.

Apparently, I only have this 50.

-Do you have the change for it? -Yes, no problem, I got it all.

Take it then.

Hey, what do you see in him? He's just a baker.

As if ministers are waiting for you!

We can't dream of having anyone in the first place.

What dummy would want us? Who?

Stop it. If she saw you looking at him you'd get beat up again.

Get up and make us some tea.

You're only good at chatting and fooling around, go ahead!

You know, we should've burned his house down.

-It's done, brother. Problem solved. -I'm bored, guys.

What do you think about going somewhere?

-Don't you want to go home and change? -I don't feel tired at all, Sakher.

I heard about a bar nearby. What do you think?

In Beirut?

No, it's not in Beirut. I told you it's nearby, in Zahle.

-I'm in if it's a nice place. -Since when do you drink, brother?

I didn't say I'm going to drink. I thought we may celebrate.

The owners of this bar owe you a lot.

-So they must pay up. -What's up, guys? What's the matter?

Tell your cousin.
