EPISODE TEN

AL HAYBA BUTCHERY

Welcome, welcome, welcome, welcome, welcome.

Welcome, master of Al Hayba.

Welcome Jabal, please come in.

Welcome, welcome, welcome, welcome.

-We're glad you're here. -Please come in.

Youssef, prepare the best cup of coffee for the boss.

As you wish.

May your father rest in peace, he opened this coffee shop.

For it has witnessed a lot of events.

-Thank you, sir. -It's a good day on all over Al Hayba.

The good day is when I see all of these good people.

-Thank you. -Thank you.

-How are you, Mayor? -I'm in pain, Mr. Jabal.

I hope you'll be all right.

Mr. Jabal, we didn't introduce you to Mr--

Nemer Al Saeed.

-Welcome. -It's an honor.

Please, sit down.

Your coffee will be ready Mr. Jabal Sheikh Al Jabal.

-Am I late? -Don't worry.

It's important to go there before the end of the day.

You know the traffic in Beirut.

The men are about to arrive and you have received the weapons.

I don't think you will need anything else, Mr. Chahine.

-All right, Khalil Bey. -It's in your hands now, bye.

Bye.

Let the men take the boxes to the warehouse. Slowly.

Boss, we have received them, we have enough weapons.

Great. The men are about to arrive.

Arrange the weapons, distribute them and wait for my sign.

It's time to take out the rotten tooth.

Boss, Jabal and Nemer are in Abu Ahmad's coffee shop.

We'll take him out today without sedation.

-But what brought them together, boss? -It doesn't matter.

What matters is that Jabal isn't in the plains.

Put out the cigarette while you're working.

-I'm glad you're back. -I'm glad you're back from abroad.

If I were here, I would've given you a great reception.

But you're one of Al Hayba's people.

This means that you're one of us. Isn't that right?

Honestly, I was so excited to meet you after what I've heard about you

from these good people.

I've also asked the mayor if I could pay you a welcome visit.

-But what a coincidence. -Then we're on the same page.

Your visit is still expected, Mr. Nemer.

-You're expected to come too. -Consider it done.

I wanted to thank you in front of these people.

These good people for standing with my brother, Sakher.

I knew about it and that's really precious.

There is no need.

Anyway, your brother Sakher is an angry impulsive man.

But believe me, I thought of him like my younger brother.

We're not only neighbors, we're like a family, Mr. Jabal.

Thank you.

Tell me now.

How is your stay in Al Hayba?

I won't lie, I'm not used to it yet.

You know, after living in the big cities of Europe

then moving here would be difficult. But thank God.

-People's love is comforting. -Thank you, Mr. Nemer.

Since Mr. Nemer came to Al Hayba, he was such a gentleman.

He has a good reputation.

You didn't tell me.

If you saw all of Al Hayba and the plains.

Honestly, no.

You know that the plains are wide with no end in sight.

Come with me then.

Let's take a tour in the car so we can talk too. What do you think?

That's not a bad idea.

It's good that you're wearing warm clothes. It's really cold up there.

Don't worry. I'm strong enough.

Last time we underestimated them, so they took us by surprise.

This time, it's different. We're ready to face them.

We'll be divided into three groups. Mesbah will connect our communications

to communicate with each other just in case.

I want a group to go through Al Zein Valley up to the plain.

Another group, without cars, vehicles will go through the west plain.

I'll go in my vehicle with another, and we'll go to the hill.

Listen to me. They are clever and deceitful.

-But we're going to take them down! -That's right.

-We're all here for you. -We're all here for you.

Marwa, how are you?

I'm sorry. I didn't see you.

-Why did you startle? What did you see? -No, I was a bit absent-minded.

-Is this coffee for my aunt? -Yes.

-Pour me another cup. -As you wish.

Here you are.

-Give it to me. -No, that's not right.

It's all right, do as I say.

As you wish.

-Thank you. -I should've taken it.

No problem.

-Good morning, Aunt. -Good morning.

Why did you bring it? Where is Marwa?

I took it from her to serve it to you personally.

Because I wanted to talk to you about something.

Thank you.

-You're welcome, here you are. -Thanks, niece.

Yes?

Tell me, what's going on? You made me worried.

I will talk.

Honestly, I need your help.

Sure, what do you need me to help you with?

I want you to ask Jabal to be quick with my papers.

I should travel.

Why do you want to travel?

-Did anyone bother you? -No, not at all.

But eventually, I'll leave. I should have a new start.

As you can see. I don't want to be a rude guest.

What are you talking about? This is your house and place.

You're like my daughter, Mona.

I remember when you were kids, we used to put you next to each other.

You used to look like sisters.

Stay here. No one will ever harm you.

I know. I wish I could.

Please don't be mad, but I want to forget everything.

Are you still holding something against us?

Do you think so?

Staying here with you, removed a big part of my burden.

But what happened to me isn't easy. These things are bigger than me.

I want it to be over and live a simple, comfortable life.

I deserve that, don't I?

You deserve that and that's your right.

Do you know where will you go?

Honestly, no. I don't know where I'd go.

Enough talking, stay with us.

You'll be well respected, and treated, and away from all bad guys.

I'm confused, you're right.

-I don't know what to do. -Enough, I told you to stay here.

You're with me and I'm responsible for you.

At least, here you have people to take care of you.

Um Ali? Um Ali?

-Yes, Madame? -Clean Adel's room prepare it well.

And move my niece's things there.

-This room is for Rania now. -As you wish, Madame.

You're not a guest anymore, do you understand?

I do. Thank you so much.

Where's Jabal? Is he still asleep?

No, he woke up early and went to the square.

-What are you doing here? -We were with him.

But Mr. Jabal told us to leave.

He stayed in the coffee shop alone with Nemer Al Saeed.

Alone?

Sakher, where are you going?

Abu Ali, leave me alone, it's none of your business.

Don't tell me you're bothered by the bumpy road.

This is the case of all the routes in the plains.

-It's all right, some changes are good. -You're used to the paved roads, right?

I don't care about the road. I just want to arrive.

Ever since Rania arrived, she's treating everyone really mean.

-Who does she think she is? -It's none of our business.

Wait, I think she'll stay here for a long time.

Stop talking, finish your work and go to the market

-and get what you need for the lunch. -Okay, I will.

-Good day, Abu Ahmad. -Welcome, Mr. Sakher. Come in.

Where is Jabal?

He went with Mr. Nemer. Jabal took him a ride in the plains.

This land is so fertile.

It could be more useful for agriculture and investments projects.

May God forgive who forgot about it and about us.

The government?

Why do we care about the government if we can do whatever we want?

-Do you think so? -Of course.

A project and a factory, then we'll have a lot of work.

-We'll export it to the world. -God, to the world?

Sure, why not?

Since we have the resources and the brains.

Look how we are looking at the same plains.

But each one of us sees them differently. You see them as investments and trade.

And all of these things you're telling me about.

And I see them as memories…

my childhood and good days.

We're both from Al Hayba.

But the difference between us

is that one of us was born and raised here,

and the other lived abroad and now, came back here.

You're right, but I'm a businessman,

that's why I see it in one direction. As profit and loss.

Unfortunately, I'm not like you.

I didn't live and make memories in Al Hayba.

That's why it's easy.

But believe me, Mr. Jabal.

Your love for Al Hayba is no less than mine.

I lived abroad but learnt how to miss it.

It was an image in my head year after year.

An image like paradise. From the stories of my parents.

How about you look at the plains and see it like I do?

Let's work together

and make it something else, so everyone will benefit from.

Trust me.

Change is coming anyway.

Let's make the change ourselves, so we both can benefit from.

Believe me, Mr. Jabal.

I'm not a good loser.

I hear you.

Understood.

What you're implying for are properties.

Properties for a whole family. Not like any other family.

It's Sheikh Al Jabal family.

We've never sold a piece of land.

Of course, you've heard about us and you know us well.

But again, Mr. Jabal, if you refuse my offer,

you'll be wronging people and hinder their profit.

God forbid. Jabal wouldn't do that.

I'm responsible for people. It's my duty to think about them.

-Then? -Forget about selling.

Find other solutions and I'll support you.

What are my other options?

Find another solution and I'll accept.

So, it's done.

Hopefully. Al Hayba has…

the right to rest. Hopefully, everything will be all right.

Boss, there is nothing here.

-Go on. -As you wish, boss.

No, I can't take this anymore.

My brother, Jabal took Nemer Al Saeed and went alone in a tour?

Where is your brother now? Tell me!

Where? Your son, Jabal, asked the guards to go back home.

He took Nemer alone and no one knows where he is.

What do you mean? Where would they be?

I don't know what Jabal is thinking to know where they might be.

Your brother isn't a child, he knows what he's doing.

Mother, look at me.

Don't you agree that Jabal has changed since he came back

and no one understands what he wants?

Is this Jabal, Mother? Answer me, is this Jabal?

Enough, that's enough!

Jabal is your older brother and that's it!

All right, keep on silencing me.

Keep on silencing me, Mother. Everyone should silence me.

Why are you always shouting?

Where were you, brother?

It's none of your business as if you should ask me.

I don't have to tell you whenever I wanted to go out.

You came to your mother to make her worried?

-Does she need that? -No, she doesn't.

But you need to stop making us worried, my brother.

It's all right, Mother, it's all right. We have shouted in your presence.

Has my sweet guy calmed down yet?

Yes, I'm all right.

It's your fault, you worry about everyone.

We told you to leave it to your brother and relax.

I'm relaxed, do you see me destroying everything around?

Then, why are you yelling?

Mesbah, do you copy?

Yes, Mr. Chahine. Tell me.

There are two people on a motorcycle coming towards you.

The one in the back is holding a bag. Check it and tell me.

Roger that, boss.

Turn the bike off.

-Where are you going? -To Ain Alkhroq.

All right.

-What do you have there? -We are hunters.

Hunters? Right? What season is it?

-It's turtledove's season. -Turtledove?

Turtledoves are the best.

It's the best how do you hunt them? Do you wink at them? Or throw a rock?

I can't see any shotguns, does anyone see them?

No.

The men are up there waiting for us with the shotguns and everything else.

Come with us.

Thank you.

Mr. Chahine, over.

-Yes, Mesbah? -They are hunters, boss.

What is this? What are you doing?

I'm packing Rania's things to move them to her new room.

-Where is Mona? -I don't know, I didn't see her.

-Leave everything and go look for her now. -As you wish.

Mrs. Suraya. I'm on my way there. Did Mr. Zaidan arrive?

No, I won't be late.

-Call him. -As you wish, boss.

I looked for her everywhere, but I couldn't find her.

Go and don't tell anyone, especially my mother.

I know where to find her.

-You were watching the gate? -Yes boss, I didn't leave at all.

You should know why. Go now.

Mother-in-law, open up, please.

I beg you, open up.

You're a mother, you know how hard it is when your son is away.

Please, open the door. Please, feel me!

If I love Chahine more than anything,

it won't be compared to your love.

Because he's your son, and Ghazi is my son.

Please don't take him away from me.

Please, open the door. Don't take him away from me!

Please, open up!

-Ghazi, my son. -Mother.

Hello, my dear.

I miss you so much.

Do you think it's easy for me to take Ghazi away from you?

Listen to me, Mona.

You won't be able to gather your family unless you take us to Ali.

And Chahine would avenge. There is no other option.

He's your husband. It's time to show him that you're on his side.

-I'll do whatever you want. -It's in your hands now.

Chahine won't know about our agreement. You know what you have to do.

Until that time, Ghazi will stay with me here.

I agree.

My dear, I'll come to take you in two days.

-Don't bother your grandmother. -Mother, I want to go with you.

It won't take long.

Did they let you see him?

They have arrived.

The last thing I expected is to miss you.

Anything wrong?

I couldn't save my mother, she passed away.

May she rest in peace. Such is life.

We're all going to die one day.

-I'm sorry for your loss. -Thank you.

Ali?

Chahine is leading a big campaign all over the plains.

He's deploying his armed men and aiming at us.

All right, that's fine.

What do you think, Madame? You were silent all the time.

Did you give me a chance to talk? Listen to me carefully.

Buying the factory from Jabal was understood.

It's ready and you can start immediately.

But partnering with him is a bit crazy.

You need to find another way.

I have one.

How about to establish a factory named Nemer Al Saeed and co.

And between brackets, Zaidan for Captagon industry.

Is that all right?

Madame, why can't you get me?

We can't build anything in Al Hayba without attracting so much attention.

Who said that I'll be his partner. He didn't accept that.

I offered him ten-year investment to make him accept.

I want to be benefited by Jabal's name and reputation for free.

Everything will be produced under Jabal Sheikh Al Jabal's name.

That's guaranteed and costs less. Do you get me now?

I get you, and Zaidan trusts you,

but it's a dangerous game.

It's your responsibility, you'll set everything up.

Madame.

Don't worry.

-Nemer, I am not your match. -I know your value well.

I want you on my side.

Chahine is searching the plains with a lot of criminals and thugs.

He won't end this until he cleans the plains as he says.

Countries and governments couldn't clean the plains.

Chahine wants to do that now? Is this housekeeping?

They want Ali and this campaign is just an excuse.

-I told the men there, they'll be careful. -What if they found him, boss?

I'm not worried about Ali.

I'm worried about Chahine from himself.

-Is there anything else? -There is.

Mrs. Nahed is tired, boss. She's not like before.

She can't handle being worried anymore.

What makes it worse that she doesn't get anything now.

She keeps on asking me. I don't know what to answer.

Um Jabal will know.

But not before making that rat Al Saeed fall into our trap and eat the bait.

If she knows that now, she won't accept.

Boss, listen to me and don't be mad.

I'm blindly following you. I'd never question your decisions.

But I can't stand still without telling you

that you're playing with fire.

Don't worry about me, Abu Ali.

It's going to be all right.

Jabal has learnt from his own mistakes.

He knows how to deal with his rivals as they want.

They are dirty people. Being stubborn isn't the solution.

When they fall into my lap, I won't have mercy.

I swear by that day that we experienced together.
