What is this?
As you can see
It's from a box of weapons
Strela. Surface-to-air missiles
It's a kind of weapon that causes wars among countries
It's not a self-defense weapon
Where did you find it?
Where did I find it?
The Islamic State, dear
ISIS?
You mean that the bombing we heard was against ISIS?
Somebody is working with them and smuggling for them behind our back
I called the smugglers of the regions to come to my house
I want you to come with them
Let's have a conversation and try to control things
before they backfire on us
Well done, cousin
Filthy Wadeeh!
- Allah is the greatest... - Allah is the greatest...
Allah is the greatest
- Allah is the greatest - Allah is the greatest
- Allah is the greatest... - Allah is the greatest...
Allah is the greatest...
- There is no God but Allah... - There is no God but Allah...
There is no God but Allah...
May they rest in peace Allah is our only strength
Amen
There is no God but Allah...
- There is no God but Allah... - Allah is the greatest...
Who is that?
He's our brother from Caucasus
He lost track of his brigade and said he wanted to join you
It's a long story. I'll tell you after the funeral
- There is no God but Allah... - There is no God but Allah...
The shepherds in the arid mountains saw some of them
and said they were fleeing towards us
They must be the ones who survived the bombing
You mean real ISIS like the ones we see in the news?
Yes, they're saying they're real ISIS militants
They have long beards and black flags
and the majority of them are foreigners
May God help us
They're right here on the other side of the mountain
From now on, we'll see a lot of car bombs and suicide bombers
Why is that?
What did we do to them?
Mayor, none of them goes to heaven alone
They take a lot of people with them so that they would be rewarded
Right. Where will he find a lot of people other than here at the cafe?
He'll come here and place his table in the middle
And even before Youssef would ask him "What do you like to drink?"
he'd blow himself up and take all the customers with him and boom!
Father, what are we still waiting for?
Will we wait for this to come true and find them right here among us?
Let's close the cafe for a couple of days until things calm down
We'll close up! This is so wise
- You needed an excuse anyway - Leave me alone
Yes
Stop right there. I'm coming
I... I had nothing to do with it He started saying...
I didn't say anything
When will you stop blabbering?
Come and listen to me
- Hello, men - Welcome to the cafe, Jabal
- Hello, Jabal - Hello, Abu Ahmad
- How are you, Ahmad? - I'm fine
What a shame!
Why do you look so scared?
How could some petty thugs in the arid mountains frighten you like this?
Boss, ISIS are something new
People are afraid after all the things they saw
Don't be afraid of anybody
These are like night hyenas
They feel scared as much as they scare people
Anyway...
If they like to try their luck with us
let them come
We're ready to kill all of them
And Al Hayba's landfill will be their cemetery
May God protect you...
- May God protect you for us - You heard Jabal
Go back to your shops and keep working as if nothing happened
They're cowards. They attracted by the smell of fear
- Right on... - May God protect you, boss
Youssef, bring everybody's orders
Wadeeh
Move! Move!
Don't stand in my way if you know what's best for you
Move, scoundrel! Where's your boss? Move! Move...
Wadeeh! Wadeeh!
I'm calling him! The scoundrel isn't answering
ISIS? ISIS?
Shoot me! Shoot me!
Beat me and humiliate me Do whatever you want
But believe me, I don't know either I can't even look you in the eye
Wadeeh! I'm Shaheen Ghazi Sheikh Al Jabal!
It turns out I'm dealing with ISIS because of you?
Where's this filthy middleman you've been dealing with?
- He's not answering - What's his name?
They call him Abu Raed
Nice! Abu Raed only?
Are you insane? Who would deal in arms with someone
without knowing information about them?
Now I know why he doesn't want anybody to deliver them to him
I'll never do that again, God
I'll never do that again
Listen, Wadeeh. Stay right next to your filters
If I hear that you opened this door for me or for anybody else
I'll bury you, I swear by my parents' graves
He's not answering
Okay
Go back to your work
"I'm got there and this is my number"
"That's good. If you need anything I'm right here"
"By the way, you left your scarf"
"Right. Do you have anyone to bring it to me?"
"I'll personally bring it and get to have coffee with you"
"Very good. There's something I want to tell you about"
"Okay"
We belong to Allah and to Allah we shall return
Have patience, Yasser
Abu Muaaz is in paradise
I hope that God will have mercy on him
Until when will this keep happening?
And what are we doing this for?
What's wrong with you?
I've been thinking of something since we started this mission
And when I see my martyr brothers falling in front of me
I think of it again
Wouldn't it be better if they fall in the battles
trying to spread our calling?
Aren't we supposed whenever we control a region
to eliminate the polytheism and spread the monotheism in it?
Right
Haven't we promised to tear down all the infidels' graves everywhere?
How would we sell what we promised to tear down?
Prepare against them whatever power you can afford, Yasser
You need money to have power
And the end justifies the means
We can sell the idol to those who believe in it
as long as it helps the calling
But our numbers are dwindling Abu Al Waleed
How about we spread the calling in Kelfaya
to have men there and agents to watch the region?
No. I don't trust them
They see us as occupiers not conquerors
They don't believe in our doctrine even if they show otherwise
Don't worry
Whenever we want the thirty militants we have
will become a thousand
What's wrong with him?
He seems as if his faith was weakening
Don't forget that Abu Muaaz was his friend from Chechnya
and he'll bid him farewell today
Have you told Abu Muaaz's wife?
I'll call her
What's wrong with you?
What's wrong with the Caucasian?
Yasser, translate for us
He's saying there's a modern plane that can intercept calls
What's his brigade leader's name? And how did they come here?
He's called Abu Al Baraa
He was killed at city hall
They were bombed after they were betrayed
They targeted city hall and many brothers were killed after...
That's enough. That's enough
May Abu Al Baraa and the militant brothers rest in peace
- Suleiman - Yes
What's his name?
This guy? Abdul Razak
- Look after the guys there, please - Sure
- Enjoy - Thank you
May your father rest in peace He used to say
that these filthy deals attract States and armies only
That's what's happening now because of the greed of the traitors
May God punish them whoever they are They put us on the radar
We were dealing in smaller goods and it was going just fine
We all know what's accepted and what's off limits
But that's weird. How are the shipments coming through
while you control all the borders that cross you lands?
It must be a small merchant that's doing this secretly
We have to know...
We have to catch him...
We will catch him...
Good people
I didn't bring you here to accuse speculate or guess who did it
I brought you here to say the following
The borders...
will be cut off
And the smuggling will end whatever it may be
I know
I know that this is our livelihood
but we have to do it
I will start with myself
No goods will be sent or received
Ghazi?
- Ghazi? - Yes?
Come here, baby
Can you give me a few minutes of your time, Mr. Handsome?
What is it?
Baby, I need to go somewhere and I cannot go alone
I need a man by my side
- Who are you taking? Daddy? - No you
- Stop underestimating yourself - Fine, where to?
You'll know when we get there
Just promise me one thing
Keep this a secret between you and me
It's settled then you'll be escorting me in this trip
Agreed?
- It's our secret? - It's our secret
"Ali, are you okay?"
I knew it, Abu Ali
You won't be able to sleep and you will keep worrying about Ali
Ali has lived through more difficult days before
God is his protector
But what's worrying me is your concern and what you're keeping deep down
and it's the same thing you couldn't reveal to the villagers in the square today
You've always read my mind, Abu Ali
Every time I remember the look in their eyes
and how terrified they were I start choking
Everything I was trying to do...
is to reassure them
although deep down I was frightened like I never was in my life
I was so worried about what I saw
You think I'd disappoint you, Abu Ali
You think I might not be able to protect you?
Maybe the coming days have a new heartbreak in store for me?
God forbid, Boss
You know where's the problem this time?
The problem is that these militants are not like any other foe
You either win over him or he conquers you
You can't make peace with him and he won't make peace with you
These are people you can never understand how they think
These people... are looking forward to die
and they wish to take us all with them
No one dies before his time
God will lead us out of this, Boss
When one door closes another opens
Speak
"We found the lawyer's place like you asked"
Good job, Good job, Abu Talal
- "Is everything calm over there?" - It's calm over here
But clashes continue on the Syrian side of the border where Abu Al Waleed is
I told you we shouldn't get involved in smuggling weapons, Old Man
We could have wasted a year's effort
"This weapons deal should have taken place to crown this year's effort"
"We have to cooperate with them to be done with this"
I know that but we got held up too
How much did we get held up?
How many pieces you still have left?
- Three pieces - What are they?
The crown
You're leaving the three most important monuments until the last day?
It wasn't up to me that's what they wanted
They wanted to guarantee their right
"So this is what happened"
"I want these pieces safe at the dam as fast as possible"
Who are you?
I'm the one who knocked on your door
Wake up and focus, Ali You have a test!
You either pass...
or we'll beat you up so bad
Question and answer
Suraya, Zaydan's secretary and Fares from Tal Asfar
you got them both out of jail, right?
That's right
Who asked you to do that?
No, looks like he's going to be a pain in the neck
The Old Man, the Old Man asked me to do it
I didn't get what you said
The guy who asked me to get them out of jail is called the Old Man
But I don't know him in person
How can you say you don't know him? You just said his name
I mean that I never saw him
Everybody calls him Old Man
When I dared to ask who he is...
they told me "none of your business"
"Call him Old man and that's it"
Who is this Old Man, you piece of shit?
I swear this is all I know
He only calls me when he needs something from a private number
I don't even have his phone number
This one's a complete idiot
I think we're going to have to take him with us
He doesn't know yet how generous we can be with our guests
We're givers like nothing you've ever seen
I swear by Sheikh Al Jabal family...
Your barking will be heard in Mount Hermon
- I beg you, I beg you - I swear it
Umm Ghazi?
- Umm Ghazi? - Yes, Shaheen
You weren't yourself the last couple of days
You never eat your dinner and you're always absent-minded
- Is something wrong? Tell me - No, it's nothing
Everything's fine
- Ghazi slept? - Yes
- Isn't it a bit early? - He was sleepy so he went to bed
It's all because he's spending all his time on that iPad
You see kids his age jumping walls and digging tunnels in the ground
This boy seems to be a bit soft
And don't tell me he was shocked because he was kidnapped
We've all went through hell and back and we're still doing okay
It's all because you're spoiling him and keeping him at home all the time
It's because you're so scared he might get hurt
If you plan to keep raising him like this, our boy is growing up to be soft
Right?
I'd like to see him coming home with a head injury after a fight with friends
or something like that, when I was his age I was a tough guy
That's not important anymore
- What? What do you mean? - Nothing, forget it
Just don't worry about Ghazi he will get better with time
Good night
You know what would have happened if they saw the truck leaving the tunnel?
You should be paying your condolences now for the men we lost
If this bombing hit the dam you would have destroyed all my plans
Abu Al Waleed, I'm sitting on top of a million cubic meter of water
Don't make things even worse than they already are
Things went well I didn't ask you any favors yet
We sorted things out and I'm hoping it's going for the best now
I can't stand this situation any longer
Abu Al Waleed, get me the few remaining pieces, you're killing me!
And what would happen to the monuments if the truck was bombed?
Why won't you wait for a few days until aircrafts stop their raids?
This way you can take your pieces and pay our dues
"It makes no difference to me"
"I can load the pieces right now"
"and take them personally to you at Al Hayba"
But it's on you if anything bad happens
You think you're putting me on the spot?
"You have to bring them over and it's on you! This is what we agreed on"
Mommy?
Won't you tell me where we're going?
- We agreed this will be our secret, right? - What secret?
You're keeping secrets from aunty Rima?
What a great smell
What's wrong?
I'll give you a piece when it's a bit colder
Okay but where are you going?
I need to go with Nada to the AUB Medical Center to run some tests
- You're taking Ghazi with you? - Is that the trip you're talking about?
What's wrong?
Tell me what's wrong, Mona?
Come with me
Listen up, man you're bringing this to yourself
You won't ever leave this place before you tell everything that you know
If you don't you're staying here until you melt down, so what do you say?
If I knew anything about this I would have told you everything by now
And I'm staying here with you until you remember something
Do you take me for an idiot to believe that you don't know your boss?
Sir, they call me giving me the instructions and I do as I'm told
How many times did I ask you not to call me "sir"?
- I'm sorry, me and my big mouth - Shut it or I'll cut your tongue out!
As you wish, as you wish
- Do you work pro bono for these guys? - No, I get paid for every task I do
That's it, who pays your fees?
I receive the money through a money exchange company
- And I get paid from that company - Who sends you the money?
Once I asked about this, I receive the money in cash inside a sealed envelope
That's it, what's the name of this company?
- Salma, the name is Salma - That's it
- Where's the location of this company? - I know where it is, Boss
there's no need to ask him
Abu Sultan, it looks like this guy already told us everything he knows
He's obviously a coward... he's not someone who can withhold information
What to do now?
Keep him here for a few days and check out this money exchange company
Is the road clear out of here?
It's clear but stay the night you can leave in the morning
The situation in Al Hayba is a bit turbulent
I need to stay there
Have a safe trip, I'll walk you to the car
Shut your mouth!
Shut up!
