- Do you understand, girls? - Yes...
- Are you sure? All is clear? - Yes...
- Okay, then... - No. Put them on the top shelf, please
- I love my family - I love my family
- Would you write it, please? I'll check... - These are the fertilizer invoices
Great
- I'm glad you feel better, Abu Saleh - Thank you, Miss Rima
- Am I too early? - No. You're just on time
Abu Mahmud, would you go down to the fertilizer warehouse
- and give Abu Saleh his portion? - Right away, ma'am
Come on. He's waiting for you
Hello, Reehab. Would you make us some coffee quickly?
- These are the invoices you asked for - Great
Now we have the whole year's inventory We still need the maintenance invoice
He sent me an invoice written by hand on a calendar paper
Do you imagine?
You're glad Jabal let you stay at your parents' house
You mean you're upset?
Isn't that better than staying alone while your brother isn't here?
I know Jabal very well. He won't be happy before we eat every meal together
I'm looking forward for your mother to be happy
One minute...
Mrs. Rima, the European is on the line I transferred the call
Okay
Hello?
Hello? Al Hayba Co-op? Is this Miss Rima?
Yes, this is she
This is Tommy Anderson from the UN Population Fund office
I sent you an email a while ago
I received it but I don't understand what is exactly required
Yeah. Our office wants to send a representative to study living conditions
and send reports to study and see how we can cooperate with you
We will be pleased if you get help
Of course. When can he come?
You mean "Can she come" Her name is Sara. Sara Ibrahim
I gave her your number and your address
Okay. With pleasure
Bye bye
I can't wait for the day Fares will be released from jail
We'll get married right away I love you
I love you, too
Bye
- Look after the cute girl - Of course, boss
Bring the boss his shisha. Come on
What did you steal, boy?
A clip I found in one of the purses
You're so cheap
We asked you to bother them not rob them
Take this trash
- Yes, sir. The employee is here - I'm on the line
Talk to the gentleman
- Hello? - Hello, dear
The code, please
444222
Thank you
Here
Here you go
- Thank you - Sure
Yes, sir. I have the case
Have a bite
Firas
What is that?
Jabal invited Abu Khaled and Tal Asfar's mayor to lunch
It seems it's a reconciliation
Really?
Where are you going? Don't you want to come up?
- I'm taking the boy to play - Now?
Those who are present are more than enough
Welcome, fine people
Where's Abu Ali?
Come, Abu Ali
Tal Asfar's mayor and Abu Khaled
are here to apologize to you and kiss your moustache
- Am I right, Abu Khaled? - Of course!
I'll throw in a kiss on the head, too
- Well, Abu Melhem? - Come
May we all stay friends Come. Have a seat, people
Now, we can tell you "We're glad you're safe"
- We miss you, boss - We're glad you're safe
- Welcome, boss... - Thank you
May God protect your loved ones and help them be released from jail
Amen...
We've been friends and neighbors since we were born
We always were good to each other
and if the walls of this room could talk
they would be my witnesses
We were here and we still are thanks to your father, may he rest in peace
- He was a good man - May he rest in peace
May he rest in peace. He used to help everybody in the plain region
We have God to thank for that
Because of our location it was destined that Al Hayba road
would pass through your land
This road never saw any kind of problems
Excuse me. That was before the dam, Abu Sultan
What has changed since, mayor?
You have our water now and you can control the water distribution
There are no guarantees, now That's what changed
Mayor!
Don't talk to me about the distribution or the water
What changed is that Abu Fares killed my brother
and this man's daughter-in-law
What a shame!
Our people are being robbed on that road and our men didn't react
To be honest...
I can't stop them
I can't stop them anymore
especially Ali, Abu Ali's son
I don't want a bloodbath like Shaheen expected in my absence
That's why I asked you here
to say this
The water...
will be cut off to my mouth before being even cut off to your villages
And you will ask your thugs to stop
because we're going to clean up the road tomorrow
Come have lunch
Come...
Come on...
The thugs are robbing people... Let them...
Let's end it...
The transfer, sir
Brother Wadeeh, we'll be there soon Open the gate
Open the door
Come please
- Slowly, as usual - Sure
Okay, Mr. Wadeeh
I'm waiting for it
Jabal is upset. He looked for you and didn't find you
It's okay, Father
He doesn't have the right to be upset if he didn't ask what I thought about it
You mean Jabal has to ask you before inviting people to his house?
Do you mean these are just any people?
He invited them in order to fix the problem that has to do with both of us
I asked you to come up and you said you were taking the boy to play
Father
This will be fixed only if Sameeh kissed your shoe! I won't accept any less
Son, I'm the victim here and I'm telling you that they apologized
Stop being stubborn
To make a long story short...
Nobody at this house cares what we think anymore
Jabal is waiting for you outside
Your son is right
Keep your mouth shut I don't want to hear anything!
What's wrong?
What's the problem, Umm Ali? Why are you shouting?
We're sorry, ma'am
Finish what you're doing and follow me. I need you
Sure
- Here, boss - Bring your coffee
I saw people running and I didn't know why until I made a U-turn
It turned out it was a bull, boss
It slowed down and started coming towards me
staring at me in an ominous way
What was I going to do? Run like everybody did?
I didn't think it was appropriate for me to do so
I hanged on to its horns and threw it on the ground
- What happened next? - Nothing, boss
When it straightened its head, people found me on the other side of the road
Hello
- What's the problem? - Scoundrel Sameeh's thugs
God grant me patience
Get out
Don't be scared
Roll down the window and let me talk to you
What's the problem? What happened?
Some guys stole my purse It had all my things
Don't worry. You'll get it all back
These weaklings think that we don't back up our words with actions
Ask the guys to meet us at the junkyard of these filthy men
- Zakkur knows the address - Sure
Firas, fix this car and follow us
- Sure, boss - Yes, Zakkur
- Come, please - Take the guys
and meet us at Sameeh's junkyard
We're coming to discipline him
We are this region's people You're under our protection
You'll get all your things before leaving
Please
Mrs. Rima
Najwa
Here's the flowers, ma'am
Najwa, put some at the reception and leave the rest in Mona's office, please
- Sure. Right away - Do you need anything, ma'am?
- Thank you - Sure
- The flowers are delivered, Mrs. Mona - Thank you
Sure
Where is she? She's supposed to be here
The last time I talked to her she was in the plain
Could she be lost? Call her
I called her many times He phone is off
Nice! she might have heard things about Al Hayba
so she got scared, turned her phone off and went back!
It's possible
- She'll get here - Yes
Let her take her time
One minute, "s'il vous plait"
- We're ready, boss - Did they talk or not yet?
- Not yet - What a shame!
Where's your filthy boss?
Where is he?
Who's the good boy who will talk? You?
What?
You grew a small moustache, cute guy?
You'll be beaten to a pulp and start talking
Let me see those sideburns Are you tongue-tied?
Do your parents know you're here, boy?
Make them kneel and tie them to the post
Come on!
Come on. Come on. Kneel!
Kneel! Lean back
Welcome to the organic egg day
Raise your head
Raise it!
Enjoy
Look at me
You look so nice
Open your mouth Open it! Open it
Swallow
They say it's good for the weaklings' skin
You're terrorizing everybody, filthy guys?
Junkyard scoundrels
Sewer rats
Zakkur, give it to me
Well, guys? How do you like them?
Scrambled or sunny-side up?
I swear I don't have anything to do with it, boss!
Please, boss
Filthy scoundrels!
- I'll discipline you - I beg you...
I'll discipline you!
I want all the stolen things Where are they?
Come. Please, Zakkur
See if it's here, miss We're having a sale
That's the one
Thank you
Check if those scoundrels have taken anything
No. It's all here
- Thank you very much - Don't mention it
But what did you do to them?
You mean these filthy guys?
I made them an omelette
Your car is ready
You'll have a safe trip I told you not to worry
Thank you but who?
Who am I, you mean? I'm a good person
Take care
Take these things to the mayor and let him give them back to their owners
- It's our duty and our people's property - Your mind was closed
and I built a road right through it
Stop telling me you're not getting it
I will say it again
Where's your boss Sameeh?
Ali
Time is up
We'll continue next time
Listen, boy
Tell your boss filthy Sameeh
that Ali says "You're lucky You survived this time"
"Next time, I'll cut you up wherever I see you", got it?
Tie them up without cleaning them Let their boss see them like this
Come on
- Go with the guys. Come on - Right away, boss
Ali, relax
Calm down
This house hasn't been seeing good days
I thought Jabal's return might calm things down
and gather all the family members
I hoped Ali would find a mother for this child
What does the gathering of the family have to do with Ali's marriage?
I didn't know how to tell you
Aren't we members of the same family and we face the same problems?
I thought, maybe Ali and Rima...
Rima?
Ezzat loves Rima very much He's fond of her. She loves him, too
I see
but didn't you find for your son any girl other than Shaheen's sister?
His sister?
- Have you told anyone this? - Of course not
I just thought of it and said why not?
Because it can't happen
Stop thinking about it. Do you want your son to feel ashamed?
What do you mean?
Why? I don't understand
Because Shaheen would never say yes. It's impossible
Understand already
- Got it! - Was it you or me?
- Are you asking or joking? - No, I'm making sure
- Only one man can compete with me - Who is it?
My cousin, Jabal
By the way...
Doesn't he seem arrogant? He's exaggerating
Last time...
He came in and acted in a weird way I really didn't know what to answer
I'm sorry. I don't want to drive a wedge between you but that's what I felt
That's his way If you don't really know him
you'd think he was shooting you not talking to you
Right
No problem. Why do they call him "Al Hayba's Big Boss"?
I felt I was going to see someone older than my father
- He looks younger than you - He's younger than me
But we're tribes here and age has nothing to do with it
- Is he your first cousin? - Of course. We grew up together
You don't look alike at all
They're two households in the end
And my uncle Sultan, may he rest in peace, married a Syrian woman
That's why they call my cousins "The children of the Syrian woman"
Right
Dear
Come here
This is the real PUBG, right?
Come on
These are the invoices of the last two days
The fertilizers...
Wait... These are the same people...
This one...
This one, too
- Yes - There's still one
Miss Sara?
Welcome
- Welcome to Al Hayba - Thank you
- Excuse me. May I use the bathroom? - Sure. Right behind you, on the right
Forget about these, now
What's wrong with you, Ali? Don't you want to tell me what's wrong?
Does it look like there's something wrong?
I'm doing everything I'm asked to do
unless I'm not doing my job God forbid
What a shame! Do you think you're a public servant?
This is not Ali that I know
You're right
This is Ali that you don't know
Ali who lost everything he loved all together
I took a hit, I fell to the ground and I'm still losing
I went for a year, came back and found you right where I left you
What we lived through was very hard
but there's no fix for it
We have to mend our wounds be tough and forget
I can mend the wound you're talking about
But your cousin's wound is still open
Shaheen forgave but didn't forget
He hates me and has it in for me
Okay
We won't be late. Bye
Abu Mahmud is waiting for us in the apartment
No problem. Let's see what her story is
Welcome. Have a seat
Here's your hot coffee
Thank you
I apologize for being late but I had an accident on my way here
What's wrong? You should have told us
I had a flat tyre It was nothing
It's nothing, then
How about we have our coffee then go to your apartment?
- You sure need to rest - Right
I'm not used to such long road trips
- But don't say I'm weak! - No
No
We'd never say that You have a reasonable justification
Just know one thing. As long as you're our guest, you'll be one of us
Thank you
You were talking to me on the phone, right?
Yes. Rima Sheikh Al Jabal and Mona Sheikh Al Jabal
Are you sisters?
We're cousins
- Who did this to you? - Jabal Sheikh Al Jabal and his men
- How did they get here? - I don't know, boss
They were armed to the teeth They came from every direction
And did they know that you were working with me?
Yes
Ali Sheikh Al Jabal asked me to tell you this
What.
First...
You're lucky you survived
What else?
If he sees you, he'll cut you up
