I am forced to be cruel

Forgive me for my cruelty in advance

Right now

EPISODE 19

Mayor, I'm not happy with everything happening.

Look, Abu Ahmad.

Your son is implicating himself in a dangerous matter.

If he keeps on doing this, trust me, people will be against him.

-I don't get it, Mayor. -Everything will be revealed soon.

You'll know everything.

Abu Ahmad, my advice to you.

Bring your son back as soon as possible, let him be under your protection.

This is getting more dangerous. It'll be so complicated.

There are secrets, only God knows when we'll figure them out.

HANINE WELCOMES YOU

NADA, DAUGHTER OF THE LATE DEEB MURAD "UM JAWAD"

"Not equal are the companions

of the fire,

and the companions of the garden."

"It is the Companions of the Garden

that will achieve Felicity."

"Had we sent down this Quran

on a mountain,

verily, thou would have seen it humble itself."

"Thou would have seen it humble itself,

and cleave asunder for fear of Allah."

All of my bad days are nothing compared to this day.

Why, Mother? Why did you do this?

Why now, when I need you the most?

Are you that upset with me, my dear mother?

My father's death destroyed me.

I couldn't sleep anymore, Mother.

It's not my fault.

If I could…

we would've lived the way we wanted, but I'm helpless.

No one can handle what happened to me, Mother.

Forgive me, Mother.

Bless me, Mother.

Kill me if it eases you.

Curse me to hear you say my name.

Scream, Mother, yell. Say something, anything.

Please, let me hear your voice.

Give it to me.

-I'm not tired. -You can't carry 10kg, give it.

I told you, I'm not tired! Leave me alone!

-So, is it guaranteed? -Sure, I'll guarantee that.

-What about the income? Is it good? -Depends on the money.

But some extra money won't bother you, right?

I'm thinking about being brave,

and giving you the money I saved to invest.

You'll get profit without doing anything. What do you want more?

Mr. Ahmad, it's not wrong for a man my age to secure himself.

You know, standing here for 50 years caused me a lot of pain.

I can't stand up well.

In the end, who'll be there for me?

May God give you health. You're right to think that.

The best pastry for Ahmad. Enjoy your haircut.

-Thank you. -Bashir, the rumor is true.

-Every month, they're taking profit. -Fifteen percent.

-How are you dividing the profits? -It's a no-brainer.

At the beginning of every month, you'll come to my shop.

I'll give you your profit with some extra.

But listen to me carefully. This isn't the case for everyone.

I have to talk to Mr. Nemer. Maybe he'll accept. What do you say?

Really? Really, Mr. Ahmad? No need to ask.

Calculate it, Bashir.

For one million, how much would I get per month?

-One million dollars? -One million pounds.

-Are you making fun of me? -150 thousand. That's obvious.

Ahmad, do the math.

75,832,925 pounds.

How much would I get?

-Um Sari. -Thank you.

Rihaf.

-Nizar. -Thank you, Abu Ali.

-This is for Abu Safi. -Thank you, Abu Ali.

I don't know what to say.

Mr. Jabal and Um Jabal did a lot for us.

-We won't forget that. -That's our duty.

You're the foundations of the factory.

The Sheikh Al Jabal family doesn't forget about anyone.

-Hopefully, things will be all right soon. -Hopefully.

Now, they're making a new scam.

They're taking money from people to give them profit.

-Saying that they're investing it. -What?

You heard him well, Abu Ali.

They're saying they're doing good to get people to invest their money.

At the same time, they fired us.

-Who's responsible for that? -Ahmad, son of Abu Ahmad.

I swear, he made the butchery. Bank money is coming in and out.

-You're right, it's a new scam. -Abu Ali, is it good?

I'm thinking about selling my jewelry, and I'd live off the profits.

Ms. Rania, Mr. Jabal is outside, waiting in the car.

He said, he'll wait for you to get dressed.

He's waiting for me?

Yes, dear. Get ready to see what he wants.

Yes, okay.

What's the matter?

Tell me.

How did you let Mrs. Mona go check on that sneaky woman?

What's wrong with that?

After everything she's done to her and her family, and our family.

She went there just because she had to?

How is that?

We're Sheikh Al Jabal family. Traditions are still traditions, Um Ali.

I've told you many times to think carefully before you talk.

I didn't raise my children to hold grudges.

I raised them to be fair, and follow the traditions.

Hanaa is family. She doesn't have anyone else.

I'm going to visit her to check up on her.

-You, too? -Um Ali, go!

Leave.

-Ahmad, the son of Abu Ahmad? -Yes.

He took a lot of money from people.

He says that we need connections to invest with him.

The strange thing is that they're giving 15% profit.

If that's true, who would think about working again?

Who has a house, land, or some kettle, won't have to work.

It's better to sell them,

and sit home waiting for the profit every month.

It's not right, Abu Ali.

It's not logical.

Fifteen percent?

What is that?

Ahmad, the son of Abu Ahmad is just a worker.

We need to know what his boss is thinking.

There's a problem between him and people of Al Hayba.

I think that he's going to make trouble.

Excuse me, boss.

What's the matter?

Get in.

Where to? You made me worried.

-Your cousin… -Yes?

…who hit that guy.

What's wrong with him?

Doesn't deserve to hang around with you?

For our Prophet, his offspring, and his companions,

and for all dead Muslims.

Especially, for the dear woman. May she rest in peace.

We'll read for them Surah Al Fatiha.

Thank you for coming.

Thank you for coming. Thank you for coming.

Thank you for coming, son.

Thank you for coming.

God bless you, son. You didn't introduce yourself.

How are you related to the deceased?

-She's my aunt. -I'm sorry for your loss.

Thank you, Mayor.

Unfortunately, I didn't see her. I just arrived from my travels.

In regard to funeral and burial, I'll pay for everything.

Thank you, sir. We don't need that.

We wanted someone to ask for her when she was alive.

She lived and died alone.

Who would ask about her, Mayor? I'm everything she had left.

Why did they ask about her for the inheritance a while ago?

-What? -A while ago…

the mayor of Al Hayba visited us looking for her.

I took him there to ask her.

Oh, Jabal.

How did you remember?

I thought you have forgotten, like always.

We used to come here with Sakher to play hide and seek.

The guard, Abu Mohamad. May he rest in peace.

He used to help me out when it was my turn.

You used to get so angry that I always find you.

Then, when it was Sakher's turn, we used to hide from him.

When he didn't find us after looking for us,

he used to yell, and hit the ground, and cry.

You and I would be here.

Behind this rock, laughing in the same way.

At that time, I thought that I grew up, and I'm not a kid anymore.

I didn't see you as a kid.

I had a lot of feelings that I'm embarrassed of.

I wanted to tell you a lot of things.

The last time you came here with Sakher, I didn't come with you.

-Do you remember? -I do.

I did that on purpose.

I left you this so you could read it.

You thought I forgot.

Let me show you something.

Teach me what you're doing so you can rest.

If I need anything, I'll call you.

Are you sure? You might find it difficult.

No, it's not a problem.

Look here. First of all, you need to open it.

Try to spread her fingers, slowly.

It's difficult, but you should be patient.

All right.

She was there, and after a few seconds, she said…

"If you're not worried about yourself…

you should worry about your son."

Then, this happened.

Nothing left but what you're seeing.

And these.

I would've been more comfortable if I didn't survive.

The dead are more comfortable.

I'm trying to bury this memory, but it's like a bleeding wound.

Unconsciously, I come here.

I hope she'll be all right.

This is my number. If you need anything, call me.

-Thank you. -You're welcome, excuse me.

Don't worry.

You go to the warehouse. I'll call you if I need anything.

All right, as you wish, boss.

A while ago, the mayor of Al Hayba visited us looking for her.

I took him there to ask her.

Thank you so much.

-Mr. Jabal. We didn't introduce you to… -Nemer Al Saeed.

Welcome, it's nice to meet you.

Please, sit.

Why do I feel that the mayor doesn't like me?

It seems that he's doing that on purpose.

When you first came, he was asking "Who is Nemer Al Saeed?"

He said that he didn't hear about Jihad Al Saeed.

Thank you, you didn't tell me, Nemer…

Who's your father in Al Saeed's family?

Khalil…

Do you remember the man who was arrested on the prison's gate?

-Zakkour? -Whatever.

Check what's going on, and solve it immediately.

-Let him come to me. -As you wish, boss.

By the way, Jabal is here in the house.

What's the matter, dear? Is everything all right?

-No, nothing. -Why did you call me so many times?

I'm so busy. If there's nothing urgent, don't call me, I'll call you.

Didn't I tell you to put 5kg containers beside the blender?

This is a checkmate.

-Hello, Mr. Nemer. -Mr. Jabal.

What a nice visit. I've waited for it for so long.

We're bound to visit you. We should take care of our neighbors.

Didn't they serve you? Khalil, tell them to prepare…

-How about you stay for lunch? -No, maybe some other time.

I was nearby, so I came to say hi.

That's not right, you're in Nemer's house.

-This is your first visit. -I'm not here to be served.

-Maybe some other time. -All right, then.

Make us two cups of espresso.

You have a nice house.

You've paid a lot for it.

Isn't it so big, since you're living alone?

Alone? What should I do about all of these idiots around me?

They're good men.

I mean, when the house is big, it's harder to warm.

-Dangoul. -Yes, boss?

-Are you cold? -I can't stand my clothes, boss.

See? He's not cold.

You're making them warm in your own way.

That's true.

Are you any good?

No, it's not my game.

Chess is a battle.

Two teams.

The table is the battlefield.

The white and the black. There is no grey.

The pawn is in the front.

In war, it doesn't move a lot. But it causes troubles.

You can sacrifice it.

You have a lot of pawns.

AL HAYBA BUTCHER'S SHOP

The rook…

Its name is obvious.

It kills in a straight line. In the front, back, right, and left.

Nothing can stop it.

It protects you but it doesn't think, like a wall.

The knight is flexible, it jumps.

It moves above all pieces.

You find it behind enemy lines.

It's sneaky.

If you weren't careful with it, it might get to you.

The bishop is smart, it finds a way.

It moves across the board.

It solves big problems. It's always there for you.

FIRST PARTY - SECOND PARTY

The queen…

It controls everything. It's well protected.

If it moves, it kills everything.

It's capable of killing everyone and ending the game.

All of them have to protect this.

The king.

It's the essence of the game.

If it dies, the game is over.

SHEIKH AL JABAL DAIRY

DIRECTORATE GENERAL OF INTERNAL SECURITY GENDARMERIE UNIT

AL HAYBA MAYOR

THEY WANT A MILLION PILLS AND DELIVERY IS TOMORROW

THEY WANT FIVE MILLION PILLS

The road is clear, move it.

Copy, we're moving.

-What do you have in these trucks? -Yogurt.

Open the door.

Is that yogurt?

Sir, I'm a driver for a yogurt factory, for Jabal Sheikh Al Jabal.

I have to deliver the goods.

-I don't know anything else. -Shut up.

Bring all the goods, and arrest these idiots.

-Come on! -Yes, sir.

What? Are you joking?

What about the scouts? What about the men?

You idiots!

It was an ambush. We couldn't do anything, boss.

Boss.

They took both of our shipments.

What? I don't understand.

All the goods we sent out today were captured, on both sides.

Two ambushes at the same time.

It's obvious that one person has done both.

What should we do?
