You sir talk about the
position of the legislator
You sir talk about the
position of the legislator
You're saying it's a position
that gives one immunity
Of being put out of office
Or put under scrutiny
Or having one's decisions altered
My question for you sir, is...
What if...
What if...
That person, the legislator
Acted on a whim
Had a moment of weakness
What will happen?
The legislator is God's hand on earth
He sees things you cannot
He sees things you cannot
His long experience
Guarantees
That he can control
his weakness and whims

And you two walked out
And what's the big deal if I met
a friend of yours in the dream
And what's the big deal if I met
a friend of yours in the dream
Well, my friend you held your
hand and walked away
Died two years ago
And when a dead person takes
someone in a dream
Well, look it up a oneiromancy book
That is nonsense
I don't know you
You don't have to know me
for me to have a dream about you
Consider me a messenger
who came to tell you
That your days on this
earth are numbered
Look through your old notebooks
Look for the things you've
been trying not to remember
When we do something wrong
We have to pay the price
Even if we say sorry

People like Mahrous Birgass

With all his past
He has to have a rabid dog with him
To do his dirty work for him
And collect votes
And terrorize people
during election seasons
That's what Sare Veese is
For Mr. Mahrous Birgass
But when Mahrous Birgass
Senses that the dog has gone mad
He'll be the first to shoot him down
His reputation is a red line

President Mohamed Naguib
Entered the Abdin palace
He got out of his car
And he was surprised to see
That soldiers weren't saluting him
An hour later

A messenger gave him a message
That changed the course of history
The leadership board of
the revolution decided...
The leadership board of
the revolution decided
The leadership board of

a thousands others in his place
And there was another disagreement
Arrests and prosecutions he didn't
approve of, and many other details

What matters is that Naguib
Wanted to give the
power back to the parliament

His condition hasn't changed?
I'm sorry to say, it's gotten worse
Sir
Do you remember me?
My father and I paid
you a visit a while back
He was in a wheelchair
If you recall
He was killed
What did he want from you?
Your father
Told me about a dream
A dream in which I die
How much time do we have?
How much time do we have?
It's a matter of weeks
There's a guy called Sare Veese
that I met that same day
There's a guy called Sare Veese
that I met that same day
Are you done son?
Yes, doctor
'Going out in daylight,
The book of the dead'
'Going out in daylight,
The book of the dead'
I am your beloved son Horus
When will I avenge you, father Osiris
for all that evil Set has done
When will I avenge you, father Osiris
for all that evil Set has done
You've put your enemy under
your feet forever, victorious Osiris
You've put your enemy under
your feet forever, victorious Osiris
This is the first time
I felt scared...
Was after my father died
We sold the perfume shop
We needed the money
Uncle Leto helped us
'Leto jewelry'
Uncle Leto helped us
'Leto jewelry'
He trained me in the diamond trade
And paid for my education expenses
I was like a son of his
He would give me a tip
Every time I get him something
during the Sabbath
Every time I get him something
during the Sabbath
His daughter
His daughter
Was the first love of my life
And maybe the last
The most beautiful
girl in the Jewish quarter
The most beautiful
girl in the Jewish quarter
Her laugh
Was like the laugh of Marilyn Monroe
She had a cat called... Papsi
She had a cat called... Papsi
One day, that cat got mad
One day, that cat got mad
Uncle Leto said we
had to get rid of the cat
She cried
Uncle Leto hated upsetting her
He told me
Get me the powder we
use to polish the diamonds
Get me the powder we
use to polish the diamonds
He put some in the milk porridge
And he said don't tell anyone
And he said don't tell anyone
Don't tell anyone, Hussein
Sometimes we make small mistakes
To fix a massive one
To fix a massive one
I didn't realize what we were doing
But a week later, I understood
That cat bled to death
That cat bled to death
And It was like that's
how the curse started
The government apprehended
a network of Jewish spies
That do bombings
The case was known as "The Lavond scandal"
The case was known as "The Lavond scandal"
The were sentenced to death
They started leaving, one at a time
Fear...
Struck uncle Leto
Until one day
In 1956
The Tripartite Aggression against Egypt
(The Suez Crisis) happened
I spent the night at uncle Leto's place
I spent the night at uncle Leto's place
And suddenly
There was an Air-raid
The sounds of the
planes was terrifying
The sounds of the
planes was terrifying
Uncle Leto said he forgot to turn off
the light at the pigeon house on the roof
Minutes later, we heard a loud thud
Minutes later, we heard a loud thud
I was worried about my uncle
It was the first time I
saw the sky during a raid
Uncle Leto held the flashlight up
Uncle Leto held the flashlight up
He was giving signs to the enemy planes
Don't ever tell anyone what you just saw
Don't ever tell anyone what you just saw
It was the first time
I see fear in his eyes
Because of anything happened to me
You won't see Touna ever again
You won't see Touna ever again
Days later, the government
started arresting Jewish people
And I found out what uncle Leto
was doing on that roof
He was giving signs to enemy planes
He was giving signs to enemy planes
Uncle Leto was sweeter than my own dad
But he was a traitor
'Treason in the Jewish quarters, French
Teacher arrested for helping enemy'
Colluding with the Jews
who invaded Palestine
Colluding with the Jews
who invaded Palestine
It was the biggest conspiracy...
Sadly
I couldn't turn him in
Touna would never forgive me
But if he died
But if he died
My father said, we have to pay
for every sin we commit
Even if we say sorry
Whenever we make a mistake
Whenever we make a mistake
We have to pay
Even if we say sorry
My, my, Hussein
If you were a little older
I would let you marry Touna
Touna is like a sister of mine, Khawaja
What's with calling me Khawaja
These past couple of days?
Stop it, don't they want to
kick us out of the country?
Khawaja: an honorific
title used by Mizrahi Jews
Khawaja: an honorific
title used by Mizrahi Jews
Don't say that again
Am I not like a father to you?
My father said never be a traitor
Even for someone you love
Even for someone you love
You're even more dear, uncle
You're even more dear, uncle
I had a dream about you yesterday
Did you, Mr. Hussein?
What was the dream
Did you, Mr. Hussein?
What was the dream
I dreamed you went on a faraway
trip with my late father
He took you by the hand
He took you by the hand
And you walked with him
A month later
Uncle Leto got really sick
The same thing that happened to the cat
The same thing that happened to the cat
The ambulance came and took him
And Touna was gone
She went to Israel, with the Jews that
migrated after the 1956 war
A 'Leave with no return' stamp
on her passport
Months later
I found out through letters
that uncle Leto died
I found out through letters
that uncle Leto died
And even though it was a perfect crime
Something made me keep the diamond dust
Something made me keep the diamond dust
Wait just a minute!
He's right there
I applied to the naval academy
And was rejected
I applied to the naval academy
And was rejected
Because of nepotism
I didn't turn out a hero
Like Abdel Nasser
I was a nobody
I studied history in the
faculty of humanities
And as if fate didn't want to disappoint my
father, and despite nepotism
I was called in to serve in the military
And the 1967 war with Israel happened
'Biggest engagement since the cease-fire'
And the 1967 war with Israel happened
'Biggest engagement since the cease-fire'
'Our planes destroy
enemy armored tank units'
Sinai was taken over in 6 days
That year
Touna was a nurse in the Israeli army
Against the country she was raised in
Against the country she was raised in
"I've decided to resign"
'The people say no'
I returned to the Jewish
quarter injured from Sinai
And Abdel Nasser died
And with his death, the dreams of
an entire generations died as well
He didn't see our victory in 1973
After the peace treaty with Israel
After the peace treaty with Israel
Touna came to visit
A visit that was 22 years late
A visit that was 22 years late
In our whole lives
We only fall in love once
Goodbye
The rest of our lives
The rest of our lives
We just recall memories of that love
That was the last time we saw each other
That was the last time we saw each other
And Touna walked away
Without knowing
That I was behind her father's death
That I was behind her father's death
After the treaty
I worked as a history teacher
And I married Nahid, my neighbor
I went to the gulf,
in a sea of others like me
We came back with the
money we made there
We came back with the
money we made there
But we left our hearts there
Until Taha came
The most beautiful thing
in my whole life
The most beautiful thing
in my whole life
Then, I decided to live in Egypt
'Halal interest
Islamic way'
I put all my hard earned money
In investment companies
I put all my hard earned money
In investment companies
We believed them
And our lives were stolen from us
A few months after that
I did a surgery on my back
I got out of that surgery
paralyzed from the waist down
An unintended surgical error
Of course, I got no compensation
The only thing I could do was
give private lessons
To put food on the table
And then the only thing I did for fun in
my spare time was spying on people
And then the only thing I did for fun in
my spare time was spying on people
Watching a country slowly drown
Watching a country slowly drown
What're these binoculars for?
My wife Nahid couldn't take it
There was only me and
Taha left in the house
There was only me and
Taha left in the house
I raised him until he became a man
He became my whole world
He's the only one who tolerated me
But the old monster inside of me
Decided to emerge
I have bared the consequences and sins
of the rulers of this country
I have bared the consequences and sins
of the rulers of this country
Killing Leto
Was the start
Diamond dust is the golden opportunity
To undo the sins of those
with dead conscience
To undo the sins of those
with dead conscience
Everyone knows how
corrupt the author Mosa Atiia
A serpent of the rulers
Twists the facts
To bury the poor in mud
To bury the poor in mud
But who would suspect
a man in a wheelchair?
The one who sowed cancer
in his own children's veins...
The one who sowed cancer
in his own children's veins...
Has to reap it one day
Helmi Ashosh was the first
The king of hazardous foods
'RIP Helmi Ashosh, businessman...'
The king of hazardous foods
'RIP Helmi Ashosh, businessman...'
And Suleiman, my
best friend my whole life
Who opened his shop with blood money
Who opened his shop with blood money
He waits for the poisons every Sunday
From a black car with black tinted windows
That the devil himself drives
Advice can do
nothing to a dead heart
We'll meet at the doorstep pf hell,
my friend
We'll meet at the doorstep pf hell,
my friend
And as for Mahrous Birgass
And as for Mahrous Birgass
The oldest senator in the parliament
The architect of the legislation
that protected those in power
The architect of the legislation
that protected those in power
And crushed regular people
He'll be judged by my constitution
One he can't mess with
One he can't mess with
You'll get a taste of your own medicine
Then die, according to my law
Hussein Dahar
Hussein Dahar
The humble layman
Who was denied his right to live
I had a dream about you in a bedroom
I had a dream about you in a bedroom
A friend of mine walked in
He took you by the hand
And you two went out
And you two went out
And now...
It's time for an even dirtier snake...
That I see with my own eyes
for the very first time
That I see with my own eyes
for the very first time
But his story is worth being
buried between my eyelids
But his story is worth being
buried between my eyelids
So my eyes would memorize it before
I go to sleep
And so it brings me joy
When I wake up everyday
When I wake up everyday
Sarah?
Did I wake you up?
Why, what time is it
Why, what time is it
It's 7 pm
Any news?
No
Well, what're you doing right now?
You know, I'm just up
Come in, please
Come in, please
No, I want to take you
somewhere really nice
No, I really can't
No need to get all awkward
Come on
Do you miss playing drums?
Do you miss playing drums?
I haven't been able to
play since the incident
You're doing everyone
in the building a favor!
Let me introduce you to Sharif

But seriously, Sharif
Good job on the episode

But I still miss
Sharif the protestor,
the guy who stood in the square

It's all stages my friend
Every athlete will one day be a coach

Good evening
I'm so sorry for your loss

Come with me
What do you do for a living?
I'm a pharmacist
Would you like to have a drink?
Can I have a cup of tea
I meant a cold drink
Sadly they don't have tea here
- Did you find out who...
- No, actually
Something is standing in the way
Something is standing in the way
Of course, you're not VIP
If the case was brought to light
The media would have a 'field day'
They love covering funerals
The media would have a 'field day'
They love covering funerals
Right
But other than that
Things will go as usual
Sadly
I've talked a lot about
this slacking, but all in vein
But no one wants to pay attention
They're too busy with other things
They're too busy with other things
Waking up
Transportation
Congestion
Going back home, sleeping
Going back home, sleeping
Waking up early, transportation,
Congestion
Sleeping, waking up,
Sleeping, waking up,
And it goes on
And it goes on
I'm thinking we should
do an episode with Taha
That's a great idea
If you helped me, I can help you
We could put a spotlight on...
The apathy towards crimes
against ordinary citizens
No, I have nothing to say
No problem, that's Sarah's job
No problem, that's Sarah's job
Can you make me a file, We
should shoot in the crime scene
Please Mr. Sharif, that won't do
I really have nothing of value to add
I'm sorry, I know this is
a really not the right time
Forgive me
I'm sorry for your loss
I'll leave you be, but I want
you to be certain of something...
I'll leave you be, but I want
you to be certain of something...
No matter how many years pass
If you have a right, you have a right
Thank you
Enjoy the party
- Nice to meet you
- Goodbye
What do you think of Sharif?
What do you think of Sharif?
A polite fellow
And very cultured
And cares about what's right
And cares about what's right
He's so different from everyone around him
Are you...
Into him?
Into him?
And who isn't into Sharif Murad?
I mean it's a crush
I mean it's a crush
If you'll excuse me Sarah,
I got to go
If you'll excuse me Sarah,
I got to go
Thank you
Did he go?
The poor thing, I feel bad for him
One time I was so mean
to him at the pharmacy
- Why? was he trying to flirt?
- Not too much
But after what happened
I feel like he's all alone
But after what happened
I feel like he's all alone
He has no one in the world
And the building is terrifying now
it's heart-wrenching
You have a big heart
You have a big heart
What doesn't kill you
makes you stronger
He'll be fine, he'll be fine
He'll be fine, he'll be fine
I've been waiting for you
I've been waiting for you
Make one sound
And your blood will
splatter all over the floor

splatter all over the floor
You'll die just like your old man

I wanted to talk to you
I wanted to talk to you
I had a dream about you
My dreams come true
Just like my dad
It's life and death
What did you see in your dream?
Let's just have some tea first
Would you like some tea?
Mr. Waleed
Give me some good news
I have a feeling
That this call is about someone I have here
Can anything that happens
in this country slip past you?

I went to check
A mischievous boy opened the door
I smelled herbs
I knocked the door down
I knocked the door down
To find five young men
dressed like baby dolls
But to be honest with you
Kareem looked like the best baby doll
Kareem looked like the best baby doll
I brought him here
And he wouldn't talk
He just wrote your phone
number on a piece of paper
I'll hand you a
network or big names
And who's in it Boush Boush?

Something weird that caused him tumors
Tumors?

The mansion that's on the lake

For administrative expenses
Shutting up objectors
Getting competitors out of the way

Throwing a small party
For the sake of

Kids get used to things before adults do
And your daughter is older now anyway
She's about to say dad, I love you
I thought you were smarter than this
Don't think I actually
care about being married
I care about my reputation
I care about my reputation
People have noticed
And what if we break up?
There are things we need to consider
There are things we need to consider
This kind of decision isn't easy right now
Are you afraid people are going to say
you married a younger woman than your ex?
Are you afraid people are going to say
you married a younger woman than your ex?
Or are you too in love with single life?
Is anyone making you jealous?
- No woman can make me jealous
- Right, right
But I feel like you
only want me in secret
But I feel like you
only want me in secret
I love you in front of the whole world
But can I spend the entire honeymoon
picking up Rogoums calls?
But can I spend the entire honeymoon
picking up Rogoums calls?
You're still my love, my

Where were we?
A divorce after 17 years of
marriage is an achievement

marriage is an achievement
I love you

Why are you here?
I need you for something
What's wrong
I'm dying Mr. Waleed
Do you want money?
No, I don't want money
I want you to get me out of the country
And who's going to take
you in looking like that
Why do you want to leave the country?
Those up top are doing fine
But we down here are being screwed
I want to disappear

Don't worry
Besides, I've made this episode
Rest assured
Why are you so surprised?
I was deprived
I didn't know what I was doing

See why I divorced her?
It's a past I don't like to remember
I had old scores to settle
I needed to protect my self

I didn't want to tell you
I didn't want to tell you
Therapy?
Therapy when you have an archive
You're sick
How many women did you film on this bed?
I can't believe you did that
After seeing it with my own eyes
Do you have tapes of me too?
No, Sarah you're not like them
I love you
I used to think your wife was crazy
Even if she was she had every right
She didn't expose you
just for her daughter's sake
Sarah I'm mentally ill,
I'm going to therapy
Sarah I'm mentally ill,
I'm going to therapy
Get better
You've wasted 4 years of my life,
and you're saying: I'm going to therapy?
I agreed to everything for you
I tolerated the way people saw me
And accepted our age difference
I accepted everything
I accepted you, with your ex, your
problems, your daughter, your gross mess
I accepted you, with your ex, your
problems, your daughter, your gross mess
Don't play the victim
We got together when I was still married
You slept with me when she was my wife
We got together when I was still married
You slept with me when she was my wife
Don't forget your sins
I slept with you because
I fell in love with you
And I believed you
And I believed the
respectable, revolutionary hero
Like so many other people did
But I promise you, when people see
your tapes, they won't believe you anymore
But I promise you, when people see
your tapes, they won't believe you anymore
When we see the respectable man
Who preaches about principals
and freedom and human rights

What're you going to do?
I'm going to expose you Sharif

Sare Veese!
Go get us some tea
How much sugar do you like?
How much sugar do you like?
I remember, not too sweet, go
Go!
You know, when I was
looking around the place
I found something very weird
I found something very weird
Check out this surprise
"I won't be a part of this world"
"I will open the gates of hell myself"
"I will open the gates of hell myself"
"Even if I cut my head"
"Killing can become a side effect"
"Killing can become a side effect"
"Of a medicine that cures a dying nation"
You can't imagine
We've lost a hero
You know that your dad
has served the country more than I did?

Sare Veese is sadly dying
And sadly he found out, the secret
behind his death is in that book
And sadly he found out, the secret
behind his death is in that book
Diamond dust
I'm sorry, excuse me
I'm sorry, excuse me
That animal killed my father
Because I called the police on him
after he came to the pharmacy
No, Taher, it's a lot bigger than a fight
between you and Sare Veese, no
No, Taher, it's a lot bigger than a fight
between you and Sare Veese, no
What're you doing?
What're you doing?
You know Sare Veese
This is the first time I see someone
avenging their own death beforehand
Sorry, sorry
Sorry, sorry
It's alright, calm down
Is he dead?
Sare Veese is a very important species

He's like a link between the

Closes open sewers, gets you a cockroach
that makes you puke
Closes open sewers, gets you a cockroach
that makes you puke
But as long as you need him for something
you have to tolerate his stench
You know what's dumb?
To ask a creature like this
To design your apartment interior
for example
To design your apartment interior
for example
On new year's eve
Your father was sitting in this exact place
Entertaining himself
There's nothing wrong with that
You can't help being curious, OK
But when the lights are out
Until one day, he turned the light on
Until one day, he turned the light on
Turn it off Taha
I turned it on
It's not your fault Taha
It's not your fault your dad
saw something he shouldn't have
It's not your fault your dad
saw something he shouldn't have
Then Sare Veese got
ordered of shutting your dad up
He didn't come for you, by the way
You being there at the same time
that was unfortunate
What did dad see exactly?
What did dad see exactly?
Your late father
Saw Hani Birgass in that window
With a guy friend of his
Playing bride and groom
And Hani was the bride
And Hani was the bride
How did you
Find out all of this?
Sare Veese asked me to get him abroad
I said it's really difficult
Sare Veese asked me to get him abroad
I said it's really difficult
He opened up to me
And told me the exact same symptoms
And told me the exact same symptoms
Mahrous Birgass suffered from
Tumors along the esophagus, foreign bodies
Tumors along the esophagus, foreign bodies
And you had told me about a strange visit
to Birgass before your late father died
And you had told me about a strange visit
to Birgass before your late father died
And don't forget the Lord shop guy
died of the same symptoms
The dots are starting to connect
There's a pattern
With the diaries of your late father
With the diaries of your late father
The picture becomes clear
Mahrous Birgass, Suleiman Lord,
the writer Mossa Attia,
Mahrous Birgass, Suleiman Lord,
the writer Mossa Attia,
And the Jewish jeweler
God bless your father's soul
He's been judge and executioner
since he was 12 years old
Did you and Sare Veese come to kill me?
If that were true, you would've
been dead already
If that were true, you would've
been dead already
Then sir, what do you...
I came to protect you, Taha
Because the same person
Who ordered your father to be killed
Who ordered your father to be killed
Is the same person
That hurt me
That hurt me
And was the reason
And was the reason
I was discharged
Do you know who that is?
Who?
Who?
Hani Birgass
Sometimes killing is merciful
Sometimes killing is merciful
Get up
Sit in my place
Sit in my place
Sit down Taher
Sit down
Sit down
Get closer
Look at me, Taher
Smile, what's wrong
Isn't this what you wanted, smile
Isn't this what you wanted, smile
There you go
It's clear we can't continue our
conversation while you're in this state
And what am I supposed to do with this?
And what am I supposed to do with this?
I'm sure you'll know what to do
I'm sure you'll know what to do
You're a pharmacist

Who's there?
Open up
- Sarah?
- Yes
Who did this to you?
Who did this to you?
Can I please come in?
Come in, quickly, come in
Come in, come this way
Sharif hit me
Sharif Murad?
Why did he hit you?
Did he...
Just hit you?
I want to file a case
Sharif Murad is a big name
You're not VIP
And I'm sure he has
A lot of lawyers
A lot of lawyers
And higher ups he can talk to at any time
The law won't protect you
You were...
At his place...
We need to...
Calm down so we can think things through
Let me change the ice
Calm down, calm down
nobody knows, nobody knows
Calm down, calm down
nobody knows, nobody knows
I'm not going to hurt you
Do I put my hands down?
I'm not going to hurt you
Do I put my hands down?
What are you?

I'm...
Taha Hussein Dahar
Taha Hussein Dahar
How could you live through all that?
I've never had a say
over how my life goes
Your mom is dead
My mother died twice
My mother died twice
When I was 15
When she left me and got married
After dad got paralyzed
She lived to the age of 40
The second time was a year ago
She died of cancer
She died of cancer
You didn't talk to your mom for 15 years?
Yeah, but she called me
I'd pick up but I wouldnt say anything
Does someone who left me
has the right to ask if I'm OK?
Do you think after what you've discovered
Do you think after what you've discovered
That you wronged her?
Maybe
But she also left me
But she also left me
And what about your dad?
Dad is the strangest
word I could hear right now
I swear if I see him right now
I don't know what I'd do
Did you know he was married?
What made you stand by him
- Why?
- I loved him
I loved him...
This will relax you a bit
and get you to sleep
What're you going to do with that body?
What're you going to do with that body?
Good morning
Say, where's your father buried at?
Say, where's your father buried at?
Imam graveyard

Alright, let's meet there at 3
to pray for his soul
Bye
You did not disappoint me
You did not disappoint me
Is that Sare Veese?
Is that Sare Veese?
Old Hussein raised you well
What do you want from me?
What do you want from me?
We need to stand by each other, Taher
During those difficult times
Should I trust a murderer?
Hey, if I let Sare Veese go to you on his
own you would've been in this body-bag
Hey, if I let Sare Veese go to you on his
own you would've been in this body-bag
We're here to help your father
get comfortable in his grave, Taher
We're here to help your father
get comfortable in his grave, Taher
We got his killer to him to relieve him
Now I've done my part
It's your turn to return the favor
What favor?
We need to get rid of
the one who hurt all of us
We need to get rid of
the one who hurt all of us
Then your father will rest in peace
Then your father will rest in peace
I'll get my job back
We all live happily
What do you want me to do?
I'm not a murderer!
I'm not a murderer!
You're putting us in
danger you can't fathom
You're putting us in
danger you can't fathom
Can you really carry on living
Knowing the man who killed your father
is enjoying every minute of his life?
Knowing the man who killed your father
is enjoying every minute of his life?
- No
- Then Dig
- No
- Then Dig
Dig
When your father wrote these diaries
He wrote them for you
When your father wrote these diaries
He wrote them for you
Get it through your head, Taha
Cleaning society of its fifth requires
sacrifice, and a lot of it
Cleaning society of its fifth requires
sacrifice, and a lot of it
You know that what you're doing
It's the revenge of the dis-disenfranchised
before it's your revenge
It's the revenge of the dis-disenfranchised
before it's your revenge
God is wise
He picked you and your father
from millions of people on this earth
He picked you and your father
from millions of people on this earth
To execute his will
To be the law
Until we actually have a law
Until we actually have a law
How's that?
There's a natural killer
inside all of us
There's a natural killer
inside all of us
The smart guy is the one
who knows when to let it out
When It's needed
When It's needed
When it's right
Leave the details to me
The method
The method
Is the dirt of your
late father's grave
And if I refuse?
I'll see you later, Taher
We'll talk
We'll talk
I missed you Boush Boush
Believe me, this is not personal at all
Believe me, this is not personal at all
When I sat down and thought it through
I concluded that anyone in your
shoes would've done the same thing
I concluded that anyone in your
shoes would've done the same thing
I killed your winning horse
That got you a link with Hani Birgass
That got you a link with Hani Birgass
Of course you'd try to frame me
And of course it was to be a sexual
charge if it's coming from you
And of course it was to be a sexual
charge if it's coming from you
If you knew the truth
You'd know I'm blameless
I warned you
That's why I'm here
I want to clarify some
points you might've missed
I want to clarify some
points you might've missed
Listen, Boushra
To say it to you straight, sorry but,
you're not young anymore
To say it to you straight, sorry but,
you're not young anymore
So your connections are over
Especially to a public
figure like Hani Birgass
Especially to a public
figure like Hani Birgass
A figure who wants their dirty secrets to
stay under the rug, and not get out
A figure who wants their dirty secrets to
stay under the rug, and not get out
By the way
If Hani felt the slightest threat
He wouldn't hesitate to
get rid of you in an instant
And to be honest with you
I don't want to be the reason
for someone else's death
I don't want to be the reason
for someone else's death
We have common interests
And what do you want from me?
And what do you want from me?
An appointment with Hani Birgass
You've clearly lost your marbles
You've clearly lost your marbles
You're right, Boushra
You're right, Boushra
These days, I really do feel
like I'm seeing weird visions
Sometimes I see newspaper headlines
That read: the dead of Mrs. Boushra Seer
That read: the dead of Mrs. Boushra Seer
Her body was found in
her uxorious apartment
The body was swollen
The body was swollen
And after performing an autopsy
We found evidence of rape
Stop it
I really have visions like these Boushra
OK
I'll get you an appointment
You've always been a tough girl,
Boushra
Taha?
I miss you so much darling
You haven't visited me in a while
You haven't visited me in a while
What's wrong, Taha?
Do you remember Leto, grandad's friend
How do you know about Leto?
How do you know about Leto?
Your dad never mentioned him
I'll tell you a little story
There was once a man named Noah
He used to live in a country
The people in it had forgotten the Lord
He used to wake up every morning
He used to wake up every morning
And would talk to them trying to Guide them
The people didn't listen,
and no one showed interest
The people didn't listen,
and no one showed interest
So one day he said
Only blood works on these people
Only blood works on these people
Kill the leaders, and the
peasants situation would get better
Instead of them having children that
would grow to be just as bad as them
Instead of them having children that
would grow to be just as bad as them
Everyday he would kill someone
Everyday he would kill someone
Until he got rid of all the
filth in the neighborhood
With every soul he would take
With every soul he would take
His heart would die just a little
Until at the end, his heart died
Until at the end, his heart died
He committed an awful sin
And he thought he was doing good
And he thought he was doing good
Until one day
All the people gathered against him
The people who used to
listen to him in the begging
The people who used to
listen to him in the begging
They used his own judgment on him
And they killed him
And they killed him
And they were at ease
And the neighborhood was at ease
Your father, Taha, never
hid anything from me
Because I am his mother and sister
Because I am his mother and sister
Just as I am your mother
But he was hiding things from me
What do you want me to tell you, Honey ?
Your dad loved you so much
You were everything to him
He never wanted you to enter his
world, so you wouldn't see what he saw
Go
Go rest till daybreak
Pray to God
Lay everything that's on your
mind on the mat, He will listen to you
Don't rush the answer
Don't rush the answer
You're invited tomorrow by Hani Birgass
There will be a friend who
will be waiting for you since 10
But this time not in the mansion
At this address
You'll enter there dignified
Spread the dirt of your father
Spread the dirt of your father
Make any excuse, diarrhea, anything
A month will go by and hopefully
we will hear some good news
You talk like I kill people
everyday like it's nothing
You talk like I kill people
everyday like it's nothing
I thought the same way as
you the first I killed a criminal
I thought the same way as
you the first I killed a criminal
But don't worry
You'll think differently in the future
You'll think differently in the future
Especially when you feel
like you're killing for justice
We are not criminals, Taha
We are not criminals, Taha
We are justice
With eyes wide open
Do you intend on doing what he wants?
You are selling your soul
I didn't sell anything, Sarah
I didn't sell anything
My soul was stolen from me
What if someone was behind Hani Birgass ?
What if someone was behind Hani Birgass ?
How would they trace the dirt back to me?
How would they trace the dirt back to me?
I can't let my dad die in vein
Your dad got nothing
out of the people he killed
Your dad got nothing
out of the people he killed
These people were buried
with popular funerals
And they were even honored
And they were even honored
And he was... murdered
And forgotten
Nobody saw him
Nobody saw him
Say that when you are in my place, Sarah
Wouldnt you want to do that to Murad?
Wouldnt you want to do that to Murad?
But then I wouldn't be me
I would be someone else
He'll make you do what
you did to Sare Veese
He'll make you do what
you did to Sare Veese
Nothing is guaranteed, Sarah,
Nothing is up to me
My soul is in the hands of Waleed Sultan
Whatever happens here
It must stay here
You have never seen me, nor do you know me
You have never seen me, nor do you know me
nor will you ever meet me
by coincidence anywhere
C apiche ?
C apiche ?
- Good evening
- Good evening
- Good evening
- Good evening
- How are you?
- Great, and you?
Good, and you
I got you a pretty gift
I got you a pretty gift
Do you like music ?
- Yeah, I play the drums
- Wow! drums ?
- Yeah, I play the drums
- Wow! drums ?
They need nerves of steel
Do you know that the scent
of the body is very important ?
I can know a personality by its smell
You, for example
For a long time, since you were young
For a long time, since you were young
You can't find someone to understand you
Yes
When I was young
I'll take a shower and be back
I'll take a shower and be back
Turn it off Taha!
And now it's time for an even dirtier snake
It's the first time I've
seen it with my own eyes
It's the first time I've
seen it with my own eyes
But its story deserves to be
buried in the depths of hell
So my eyes could
memories it before I sleep
So my eyes could
memories it before I sleep
And I could feel happy with
it when I wake up everyday
So my eyes could
memories it before I sleep
So my eyes could
memories it before I sleep
And I could feel happy with
it when I wake up everyday
So my eyes could
memories it before I sleep
So my eyes could
memories it before I sleep
And I could feel happy with
it when I wake up everyday
And I could feel happy with
it when I wake up everyday
The book of hell
If you are reading my diaries, Taha
That means I have died
When the car stopped
in front of the "Lord" shop
I thought I was gonna
witness the end of Suleiman
I thought I was gonna
witness the end of Suleiman
But I was wrong
There's another snake
whose poison is even deadlier
There's another snake
whose poison is even deadlier
Waleed Sultan
He was the one selling
the poison to the merchant
He was the one selling
the poison to the merchant
Those who are supposed to
protect it, are the thieves themselves
Who would suspect
Or would inspect the car
of the main inspector ?
Or would inspect the car
of the main inspector ?
I drifted in thought for a
couple of seconds
They were enough to not notice
Taha who turned on the light
They were enough to not notice
Taha who turned on the light
The ends sometimes comes at
the hands of the most beloved of people
The ends sometimes comes at
the hands of the most beloved of people
Taha
OK
I can almost predict of
what's going to happen
That Waleed Sultan will
send someone to kill me
That Waleed Sultan will
send someone to kill me
Someone to free me from my body
I will wait for him, and open my door
I will wait for him, and open my door
I will mock him
I'll provoke him until he dares and does it
I'll provoke him until he dares and does it
and he frees my from my eternal prison
For I cannot bear that world anymore
For I cannot bear that world anymore
I was afraid I would die at
the hands of an honorable man
Then I would have doubted
everything I have ever done
Then I would have doubted
everything I have ever done
I welcome death at the
hands of someone vile like you
Forgive me, Taha
Forgive me, Taha
Where are you ?
Why haven't you been
responding to my calls ?
There was a problem
Meet me at the cemetery
Meet me at the cemetery
Is there no other place
but my father's grave?
I'll send you the location
where we will meet
I'll send you the location
where we will meet
It's a cafe
How are you doing ?
How are you doing ?
He is still trying to get to you ?
I asked the lawyer
He said me being at his place that night
and reporting it was in his favor
I thought of all the
women I saw on his tapes
I thought I got him
His wife if a very respectable woman
His wife if a very respectable woman
You know when you feel like...
The world closes all
it's doors in your face
The world closes all
it's doors in your face
I just want to sleep
Do you want to say something ?
I came here to tell you I am
going to disappear for a while
I came here to tell you I am
going to disappear for a while
Why ?
I found my dad's legacy
I found my dad's legacy
No, Taha
How can you leave me like this?
Taha!
I won't forgive you if
anything happens to you
Take care of yourself
-What is it ?
-Good evening
- What would you like to drink?
- Later
- What would you like to drink?
- Later
Speak
Everything was going as planned
Everything was going as planned
Until I...
I noticed this picture
And what's wrong with this picture
Read the date
January first, 2018
New Year's eve
The same night my father saw Hani Birgass
With his "friend" as you call him
With his "friend" as you call him
I still don't know what
you are trying to get at
Get me 1 cup of tea
Hani Birgass was celebrating
New Years eve in France
Not at his dad's house
Maybe he saw him any other day
Maybe he saw him any other day
He never saw him in the first place
Taha, I don't have a lot of time or
patience and I hate crowds
Taha, I don't have a lot of time or
patience and I hate crowds
just spit it out
I'm going to the bathroom
Sit down
Are you trying to Fool Waleed Sultan ?
I found these diaries yesterday
The last thing my father
wrote before he died
More deadly, Waleed Sultan
is the one selling the poison ...
More deadly, Waleed Sultan
is the one selling the poison ...
God bless his soul
He was disrespectful
He would write that about me?!
And you would believe
this old mans nonsense ?
And you would believe
this old mans nonsense ?
My father killed, but he never lied
OK
"And he who killed
shall be killed"
"And he who killed
shall be killed"
Isn't that right ?
And by the way
I saved your father
from a lot of humiliation
I saved your father
from a lot of humiliation
Imagine what would've happen
He would be despised
The diary would be exposed and
the newspapers would write about it
The diary would be exposed and
the newspapers would write about it
The parents of the victims would find out
Should he be executed at that age?
and with good cause
And you...
And you...
Try convincing people
You would've been the son of a murderer
So no travel, no passport
And you would have migrated because of
all the threats that will come your way
And you would have migrated because of
all the threats that will come your way
You killed my dad because he saw you
If your dad had survived,
he would have killed me
Shouldn't I protect myself ?
Don't let your love for
your father blind you
Don't let your love for
your father blind you
And if it was about that brief case from
Suleiman Lord every week
He got me the good stuff
Everything was going smoothly then
It was the inspector curiosity
I made the mistake
I made the mistake
I lowered the glass and saw the old man
Lord told me all about him
Lord told me all about him
He would go and visit him
And he wouldn't know he has slipped
some poison two weeks before that
And he wouldn't know he has slipped
some poison two weeks before that
So you sent Sare Veese
So you sent Sare Veese
Sometimes
We might make small mistakes
So we could fix a bigger one
So we could fix a bigger one
Oh and by the way
Remind me to send you
your picture with Sare Veese
Remind me to send you
your picture with Sare Veese
Who took those picture?
And where's the body anyway?
By the way, I won't stay
silent. even in death
By the way, I won't stay
silent. even in death
In the jungle
The lions don't die
The lions don't die
They kill each other
That would be an honor
That would be an honor
