"Episode Three"
No one in Al Hayba will feel at peace tonight if I don't know where my father is
You hear me?
What's going on? Are you inciting for war?
And maybe more than war if my father doesn't show up
We didn't threaten anyone
So calm down, all of you
You think you can do whatever you want?
I know he's your father but he's a member of our tribe after all
And weapons never settled the score
Don't you think we should ask first what your father did to disappear?
Regardless of what he did we never tolerated this kind of humiliation!
Consider it a warning to all the members of Sheikh Al Jabal family and Al Hayba
I won't tolerate letting my father sleep out of his home tonight
and if this is an embarrassment to you step aside and let us deal with it
I swear to God, If I didn't cherish your father I would have kicked your ass now!
Kamel, take your brother out of my face!
Let me try to understand what's going on here
He's calling upon all the tribes tomorrow and he has a few words to say
Let's hear what he has to say and then...
And then...
We will deal with the updates accordingly
If my father is hurt in any way I will hold everybody responsible
Get back to your houses!
Leave, I don't want any gatherings over here
- The boss is here - "Noted"
Welcome, welcome, Fawaz
Give the vehicle to the men and come with me unarmed
Mahmud, park the car
The boss Abu Talal is waiting for you come with me
I would have liked to see you all in a different occasion
We feel the same way too but the actions of your bosses took things this far
You're Ali Sheikh Al Jabal your reputation precedes you
But I think you're going a bit hard on us
Who fooled you to believe this?
We're still going soft for now
I like the way you think
If you weren't in our fiefdom now I would have showed you the real Ali
No need to play the tough guy act in front of your men
I can get rid of you with one click
I can whack you with a single shot, scum
Calm down, Abu Asad
Come in, let's talk inside
Alright, Doctor, thank you
So, Abu Ghazi?
I think they won't like what they're going to hear from me
We're rights holders and no one has the right to blame us
Leave it to God and do your job
How's she doing now?
She took the medication pill and slept right after that
The doctor said there's no need to worry
He said this is completely normal because the medication he prescribed is a sedative
and he'll drop by to check up on her tomorrow
- Let's hope for the best - Fine, start getting ready, we're late
Of course
Boss, people started arriving
- Come, Abu Ali - Coming
When did we start holding weapons against one another, Abu Talal?
We've always been good neighbors and each one minding his own business
Thank God these neighborly relations are out to the open now
- Say what you gotta say - I won't take this to heart
Listen, Sakhr has passed away now and he's resting in peace
Jabal can't bring his brother back regardless of what he may do
I'm gonna be short...
Jabal plans to finish you off the whole bunch
He won't let this murder pass
and he won't get back to Al Hayba before avenging him
He gave a word and he's planning to keep his word
Do you really think it's worth all this?
You know what's the difference between us?
You're gangs while we're tribes
You buy your generations with money but our kids are priceless
You're forgetting that the government doesn't differentiate between gangs and tribes
and if we don't settle this between us, the Army will intervene
and you know what would happen if Army forces intervene
What do you mean? And be brief
How much do you want as blood money for Sakhr's death
Go tell your whole gang that you can never make up for Jabal's loss
Abu Ali...
Hello, dear friends long time no see
What's up? What's the reason behind this commotion?
We invited friends and relatives to a banquet
we'd love to have you here too
- Much obliged - It's the least we can do
How can I help you, officer?
I'm not here to talk about your cousin Jabal and his troubles in Beirut
Abu Fares is nowhere to be found
We're visiting the heads of the tribes maybe someone knows anything
I know nothing about this, officer
but if every time a kid disappears we're going to see your lovely faces
we're gonna have so much fun
Fine, if anyone from your village knows anything about this let me know
At your service, please come inside at least for a cup of coffee
Thank you, we have so much to do
- You think they settled their differences? - I hope so
or else we're gonna have to intervene and blood will be spilled
This is unacceptable!
This is shameful, man! we're all gathered here and wishing to go in!
We're waiting at your door!
I don't have a say in this, Abu Khaled
I'm only a guard who obeys orders here
I take my orders from the boss Shaheen
What's going on, Abu Ali? Why won't you tell me what's going on?
You think it's appropriate to keep me standing out here?
Abu Khaled, knock it off!
People are still angry and this is not something you should take lightly
Don't get involved in this
Our problem for now is with Abu Fares
We don't want this hostility to affect everybody else in Tal Asfar
Calm down, I swear I didn't get a word of what you said
Speak the truth, why did you take Abu Fares the way you did?
Do we have the right to know or not?
Of course you have the right to know, Abu Khaled
Abu Fares betrayed us
A traitor?
- Abu Fares? What a traitor! - Abu Fares? Really?
Guys, Abu Fares came into our house and broke bread with us
What's even worse is that he wanted to clean up his act and pretended he's on our side
and at the end of the day he stabbed us in the back
- What's the verdict? - The verdict is obvious
And this is what happened
But you should tell the head of their tribe, right?
Abu Khaled could have brought him over like a dog
We did the job ourselves
We understand your point of view, Abu Ghazi
But this way you're gonna have problems with his family
- His kids won't let it pass - Let them try
How dare they look us in the face after what they did?
Abu Ali's right
Listen to me, friends
You know us well...
Treason and mercy don't mix in this house
Tell his kids and family...
If I get wind of anything suspicious in Al Sahel, I will be ruthless
If anyone has another opinion let him speak
I'm saying this as Shaheen Sheikh Al Jabal
What you're saying is completely right
You're right, Shaheen
What you're saying is completely right, boss
You're absolutely right
- What's up, mom? - Come with me
What are you doing here? Why did you go upstairs?
I was with the men, mom
Come with me
Why are you staring at the man like this?
Frankly, I hate this guy
- Ringo? - Yes?
- Where's the boss' breakfast? - Right over here, coming
There's something I don't get, what brought you from Al Hayba to stay with us here?
Jabal killed your brother, right?
So what?
So you should be happy now that his brother's dead
Right?
"We can't keep things like this, Jabal?"
"The whole country is boiling because of the street war you're waging"
"Listen to me and withdraw your men"
"Let's settle this matter now before it escalates"
The people you're waging this war against are very powerful
And this is not Al Hayba...
"We have government agencies here and there's the law"
Fine, and I respect government agencies
And I salute your efforts
But the law in this jungle cannot prevail you know why?
Because some people remain above the law
Incorrect, the law is above everyone
What about my rights?
Take your time
Sorry for all the trouble
"The Deceased Sakhr Sheikh Al Jabal"
May he rest in peace
This graveyard is growing...
and the family is getting smaller and the smell of death is not leaving us
Who's turn is it next?
Every time I try to get away I feel something's choking me
I get so weak I can't keep on getting away
And at the end of the day I stay here
It could be a curse
I traveled and got away from here
and I thought I can get rid of all this darkness if I'm living abroad
I found myself back here again and sinking deeper than I ever was
What brought me back is the same curse you just mentioned
I'm leaving it all in God's hands now
I'm convinced now that this is our fate
I thought this fire that's inside of me will calm down when I open fire
I thought I'd unwind when I see blood spilled and when I smell gunpowder
The pain is growing bigger
The heart's wound is hard to heal
I swear to God it's the hardest
It keeps hurting you
And at the end of the day.., you get along with it and you get used to the pain
Leave it to God
We were destined to drink from the same cup
and feel the same pain
and lose our loved ones
There's something I can't get out of my head
I can only relax when I can take revenge
When you lose a piece of yourself...
you try to cover the void
But what happens then?
You get burned
And it keeps burning you the same way...
until you meet again with the loved ones you lost...
Up there
Forgive me my friend... I opened your wounds
I'm gonna go have some sleep good night
Good night to you too
"Jabal"
Dakur got suspicious of him and told me about it
I was keeping an eye on him...
Did you make sure he's dead?
Sorry for the trouble, boss
"Abu Fares"
Abu Fares... why do you have his number on your phone?
The cat ate your tongue? Fine
- On your command - Hold!
I still need this scumbag
Listen to me, you scum
I have no mercy anymore
Tell it to me straight
Where are the other scumbags meeting in Beirut?
They're not meeting in Beirut
That's nice
Where?
Spit it!
In the mountains... at Saleem's place
Take good care of him...
until he gives us the location
Let's move
Check up on all the men make sure their weapons are loaded
- Ringo, come with me - Right away, boss
He's about to be seriously reprimanded
Listen, I'm sorry I doubted you but we have to be careful
Of course
- Here you go? - Is it the same as the last one?
When I gave you the other one I was suspicious of you
I'm giving you this to ask for your forgiveness
"You're responsible for the checkpoint, right?"
"Right, boss, but..."
"You know that this dog was inches away from killing the boss?"
Let's go give him some bandages he's getting out of there all bruised
Let's go
"My Son Ali"
Umm Ali?
Umm Ali, where are you?
- The men are ready - Go, I'll be right after you
"My Son Ali"
Where are you, mother? I called you many times, why don't you answer?
Ali, it's me Rima
I don't know where's your mother maybe she's outside
"I was passing by and saw the phone ringing"
How are you? How's the little baby? How are my parents?
"Thank God, we're all good"
"Ezzat is doing great, God bless him he's an amazing baby"
"Are you good out there? I heard the situation is very critical"
Don't worry, we're doing great
Do you need to say anything to your mother? What did you want to tell her?
"We only need her blessings, that's all"
May God protect you
You're not in your right mind today
So I thought I'd get you this mankousheh to clear your head
I'm not in the mood
As you wish, I'm leaving it over here
- Close the door on your way out - Okay
Thank you
Ahmad?
Is something wrong with the Mayor?
He's not feeling well ever since he got back from Jabal's house yesterday
- Did something happen? - Many things happened
What happened?
Abu Fares has something to do with Sakhr's murder
Abu Fares? Damn it!
Tal Asfar's tribes withdrew their men who escorted Jabal to Beirut
My father is so worried of a war between us and Tal Asfar
Who has any interest in a war like this?
Who could it be? His kids
Kamel and Sameeh? You think these two can start a war?
They're nothing but kids and they can barely last 5 minutes in any fight
I didn't mean these two kids, Bachir I meant the head of their tribe who's in prison
Fares
Fares?
So? You found my father?
What's wrong?
Speak!
Sheikh Al Jabal's tribe kidnapped him
Why did they kidnap him?
They're saying your dad has something to do with Sakhr's murder
You think father would do something like this?
How did they get to him?
Shaheen caught him in the mountains
What are you two doing over here?
You're here crying like wimps instead of looking for him?
Abu Khaled didn't let us make any move
They tied our hands and asked us to calm down
and Jabal took advantage of that to kidnap your father
Show me your hands!
They don't look tied up to me!
I'm the one locked behind this cell
You can roam freely when you know your father won't get out of this alive!
Out of my sight!
Leave!
I can't believe what's happening to us
This is Sheikh Al Jabal's home, people!
Mrs. Nahed is lying sick in her bed
and Sakhr is in his tomb may he rest in peace
and the boss Jabal is out to avenge his brother's death
and your son Ali's only thinking about vengeance
he doesn't even care about his son
I look at him and then I look at us and I envy him
He's the only one who doesn't have a clue about anything
Only God knows what He has in store for him
We can only be patient and wait for God's judgment
By the way, why didn't Shaheen go with the rest of the men?
These were the boss' orders
and Shaheen is the son of this family
Why are you asking such questions?
I can't give an opinion in anything over here?
In a time like this giving an opinion is out of the question!
Fine, I'll keep my mouth shut!
You look so beautiful, dear what a lovely face
You're a copy of your father
and your father is a copy of your grandma
Thank God
You bite like a snake when you start talking!
What did I say now?
"Welcome to Al Hayba"
Where are you going? Why did you take this road?
People of Al Hayba? I dare you to come out and face me!
Where's my father?
Where is he?
If anything bad happens to him I won't rest until I kill the whole village
I'm Sameeh, Abu Fares' son
Seems there are no real men in this village, only sissies
Can you hear me?
Can you hear me, Hayba people?
Where are you?
Come out and face me!
"Meet me at Al Shmaynieh"
