"Episode Two"
Everybody is here, boss
Your loss is our loss
and Sakhr is like a son to us
His death is everybody's loss
Thank you, people
May your wife rest in peace May God give you solace
Thank you
Jabal, may God give you solace
- May they rest in peace... - May they rest in peace...
May they rest in peace
This gathering...
is not for receive condolences
We're not used to receiving condolences
before taking revenge
Has the investigation shown anything?
We never expected justice from any investigations
Let the government agencies do their job as they want
We can't wait to take revenge
Who would commit such a heinous crime and disappear into thin air?
- Who would do it? - If they were strangers
they wouldn't have dared to do this
This perfectly organized crime
can't be executed by a stranger without agents on the inside
Everybody wants to know the scoundrel who did that
He's a scoundrel and a contemptible person
but those who sent him are even worse than him
There's an open war between those people and me
But this time, it's not going to be here
It's going to be on their land
on their territory
What do you mean?
What do you mean by "their territory" and "our territory"?
- Beirut - Beirut?
- What would he do in Beirut? - We're going to Beirut
I won't come back until it's done
That's why I gathered you here
What I plan to do is very big
This will entail very big trouble for all of us
Listen
I don't ask anyone of you to be by my side
I'm just telling you
because you're used to Jabal Sheikh Al Jabal
always playing by the book
You have always respected the traditions!
What happened hurt us all
Our men, our weapons and we are by your side
- We're ready to die for you - Of course
We're all with you...
- We're all with you, Jabal - Our blood is your blood, Jabal
- We're all with you... - We're all with you!
Finish your food and get ready
Someone will be here shortly to visit you
As far as I know I don't have anybody to visit me
Now you have
He's called Al Shayeb
- What does he want? - He'll tell you
What if I don't want to see him?
You'll die
like the girl they found killed in the bathroom
They thought she killed herself with a blade
Do you remember her?
What do you want me to do?
"Who's behind Zaydan?"
I wouldn't do this if you didn't have my back
Go and never look back, cousin I've got your back
I left Aala here and enough men to guard the house
and look after it
It's too big, cousin
You can do it
I know you can
Al Shayeb secured the road to Beirut
The guys of the tribes are waiting for your signal
The guys loaded up the cars with the stuff
Come, dear
Look after each other Come, my dear nephew
Dear son!
Don't you want to look at your son? What's his fault?
Pray for him in his ears
Allah is The Greatest
Father...
if I don't come back, tell him that his father had to take revenge
I hope you'll get back safe and sound and give him a good upbringing
Take care
I need a favor, Jabal I hope you'll say yes
- What is it? Make it quick - First
Do you still have it in for me?
If I did, you wouldn't be standing in front of me, now. What is it?
Consider me one of your guys and take me with you, then
Jabal
All the Al Hayba guys are going with you
How will I look if I stay at the coffee shop waiting for news about you?
Get lost. Stay here
Stop
Let him ride with the guys
- Firas, let him ride with you - Copy that
Where's Abu Talal?
- You're here - We're from Tal Asfar
and the guys of the tribes of Wadi Al Zayt came with us
We're all ready to die for Jabal it's our revenge to take
May God protect Wadi Al Zayt and its men
If we knew you were coming we would've asked the guy
to bring us some gallons
No, boss
You're from the plain region
Has living in Beirut made you forget the valley?
It seems so. Tell me
Why is it called Wadi Al Zayt?
You mean you really don't know the story of the sacred rock
that secretes oil in the valley?
May God protect Wadi Al Zayt and its people. Come
Take the guys to the hall Let them rest and have lunch
- Tend to all their needs. Come - We're not here to have rest
Take us to the hot zone right away
Others are doing what should be done, now
Come cool off now and you will go to the hot zone tomorrow. Come
Was that a good time to ask questions?
I felt apprehensive I thought I'd Google him
If he said other than what he said I would've known the truth and killed him
You have fifteen minutes
The person who told you that the Al Shayeb was coming to see you today
didn't tell you that my name was Abu Talal Sheikh Al Jabal
Sheikh Al Jabal
Does this name ring a bell?
We looked all over Beirut for you and didn't find you
What brought you here?
You can say I used my influence to come here
Who are you scared of?
The people you asked me about
The answer means that I'll die
I can kill you faster with my hand
I can kill you sooner
The same hand can protect you, too
What do you say?
You don't have a long time to think
You don't have options
Do you have a cigarette?
Do you know what the woman you're looking at...
has lived through since Zaydan's death?
I was threatened, intimidated and blackmailed
Don't try that with me
I already lived through that
You won't get what you want from me because I'm scared
You'll get it because I want to end my nightmare
They're a network
They complete each other and protect themselves
Zaydan was their front and one of them
He was the sixth member
The sixth member?
Do you know the remaining five?
I know them very well
I want names, numbers and addresses
Hassan Al Radi
He's a shrewd businessman
He's their guy at the port
He can smuggle anything he wants anytime he wants
He's the economic mind of the network
He runs how they can be reached
Fawwaz Al Ameer
known as Ampere
He's the security shield of the network
He's their thug. He has no mercy
He has an army of thugs and controls the distribution of goods in the country
And the container that was at the port is in the warehouse, now
And with every smuggling there's a new way
They put them in canned food between sheep and cows
or inside wooden doors
Then he sends them to the streets or the borders
In addition to his work in running prostitution and getting protection money
He has a super nightclub in Maameltein
He spends all his time there It's a front for his work
There are some problems sometimes
But every problem has a solution
Either this...
or that...
- until the story ends - "Palace of Justice"
Here Saleem enters the scene
He knows very important people
He opens a drawer and pulls an envelope
He puts his hand inside his pocket and pulls out a checkbook
There's a check for every favor
It's a five-star service with the best banks, too
To make the image bright
he needs to complete it with donations, philanthropy
and support for culture and arts
That needs a media network
Isn't that right?
Go on
Fouad Yassin is the best at doing that
He has influence over the press and the media
and steers them in any direction he wants
The last one is the hidden hand in the plain region
He started with them lately to control with his kids
the smuggling at the borders
I think that he did his duty towards you
He's spying on you and can't wait to destroy you
I think that you know him
Abu Fares
Abu Fares?
The tribes pledged allegiance to him
and he went to Beirut to finish his war
Let him get lost in its alleys He thinks he's in the mountains
- Do you think he'll get to us? - We'll kill him like we did his brother
But if things get out of hand with the tribes
there will be trouble
Every tribe has people in Beirut
You're from the plain region and it's your turf
Do your job and don't waste my time with this
I'm doing my job
I put a spy among his men and I hope he'll get to him
but things aren't easy
He has men willing to get killed for him
Don't you want to get rid of him and his power
and have all the plain region under your control?
Yes
Do what you have to do already
Come
- There's no other solution - Yes
Let's do it
There's no other solution
Well?
Is everything okay?
- Yes - Things are great
- Yes - Things are fine
Take the checks
In one week or ten days tops we will have cashed our money
and taken it
Here's to the Old Man
"Zaydan was the first Who's next?"
Zaydan was the first...
Who's next?
Mr. Fawwaz! Jabal Sheik Al Jabal is trashing your nightclub
and his guys are attacking the parking lot
The armed guys are in the neighborhood now
Scoundrels...
Get out!
It's me, boss. Open the door
You gave me a fright!
Why did you change the way you knock on the door?
I knocked on the door. I searched all over the mountains for you
and it turned out you were hiding here like a rat?
Take him!
Stop firing! Stop firing! Stop firing!
There's been turmoil at the plain region since the assassination of Sakhr
Jabal Sheikh Al Jabal's the head of his tribe, youngest brother
Jabal accused arm and drug trafficking gangs of taking part of his brother's killing
but the scene of events this time isn't the plain region
It's the streets of Beirut
It seems that these streets witness clashed between the tribes and these gangs
Armed groups appeared in numbers demanding revenge
Soon after, it escalated to confrontations between the two parties
who used automatic guns and medium weapons
This resulted in a number of deaths and injuries
and kidnapping between the two parties
as well as burning some of the stores and some public and private properties
cutting off roads and other riots
The security forces arrested a number of people
and the proper agencies opened the necessary investigations
to get to the details of these actions and indict those who were behind them
We turn now to our reporter on the ground Imad, do you get me?
"Al Zarub Neighborhood"
Loud and clear, Sawsan
I'm right now in the region that separates the Sheikh Al Jabal neighborhood
and the Zarub neighborhood
This region has been for three days the scene of a violent battle
As you can see, Sawsan there's smoke behind me
as a result of burning tyres and dumpsters
that they used to cut off roads
Unfortunately, the gunfire hasn't stopped until now
I don't know if my colleague Yahya can show us what's going on
As you can see, security forces are stationed nearby
and they've been putting up roadblocks
on the roads leading to the clashes
Imad, are there any signals for a ceasefire?
I mean... As they say things are serious
The guys of the tribes reject any call for peace
or surrendering firearms before taking revenge, as they say
- Gosh! - I'm glad this isn't happening here
- Let us hear what they're saying... - The security forces
are getting ready for a raid that seems to be happening soon
amid great fear among the people of nearby regions
who worry about a possible escalation
Thank you. We will get back...
Tal Asfar's mayor and Abu Khaled are waiting for you in the office
That's all we have until now We will have more for you
in the news bulletin in a while
Welcome, Abu Khaled Welcome, Abu Melhem. Have a seat
What's that going on in Beirut?
You can't only listen to what they say on TV
Abu Fares is nowhere to be found Do you know where he is?
No. We haven't seen him He didn't come to us
What seems to be the problem?
He disappeared a few days ago
Tal Asfar is in turmoil because of that
I hope everything will be fine. We'll tell you if we find him or hear about him
Abu Fares isn't a lost kid
You know his status and the support of his tribe, Abu Ahmad
I don't understand, Abu Melhem
They're saying that the abduction of Abu Fares has something to do
with what Jabal is finishing in Beirut
Abduction?
We were by your side to avenge your son Sakhr
We provided you with money and weapons
Our guys are with you on the ground, too
And as Jabal said, the battlefield is in Beirut, not here
- Abu Melhem - Abu Melhem
- Abu Melhem... - Abu...
Well, Abu Khaled?
Mayor, try to ask them about Abu Fares
and I'll try to calm things down
See you later! I hope everything will be fine
"Abu Fares"
Don't try any more. I've been calling him since yesterday with no luck
First, it was ringing and nobody was picking up
then the phone was turned off
His children are searching high and low for him
What about his man who went to save us from Jabal?
If he succeeded, we would have been safe now
Why are you silent?
I think you said he was from the mountains and would be lost in our alleys
You needed me to make fun of? Are you mocking me?
Who could have known that they'd attack us like locusts?
The problem is that the one who sent these locusts knows us by name
and he's destroying our businesses one after another
It's as if he had it all planned
In one day, they hit one my factories and its warehouses in Tripoli
a center in Saida and the offices in Jounieh
How is he being able to find them?
I'm afraid to change my clothes now I worry that he'll jump out of the closet
I stink, now!
- We all stink - Jabal set us up
so that we'd ruin our reputation in the country
He's right
When the police get involved they make things worse for us
That's how our cover will be blown and they'll arrest us one after another
How great!
One of us is injured and the other one is nowhere to be found
Who might be next?
Jabal has Abu Fares, guys
- What a catastrophe! - What did you say?
You heard me right
Let me kill him and put an end to it
What do you mean? Help yourself, first
How long can we wait for you?
Go test the waters and see if the problem can be solved with money
- Money? I don't think so - Try. Do anything
Ask to see Al Shayeb. Meet with him
See what you can do to solve the problem
They want to see us
It was so fast
We haven't had the chance to hit them hard yet
They're so weak now They're almost ruined
Let us ruin them, please Let us destroy them all
What do you want us to say the them, now?
Know what he wants
I hope they're not just buying time
