Kira & El Gin (2022) Movie Script
1
Tribute to my father Waheed Hamed whom
Im inheriting his words Marawan Hamed
If Englands empire means ruling
the world as Denshawai has been ruled,
then there can be no more sacred
and urgent political duty on earth
than the disruption, defeat,
and suppression of the Empire
The renowned British playwright
George Bernard Shaw (1906)
The movie is inspired by true events,
yet cant be considered a historical text
Denshawai village, June 13, 1906
Good!
Come on!
God punish you!
-Super!
-Nathan, can you see that?
Nathan!
-Got it!
-May God punish you!
May God punish you all!
-Come on!
-Come on!
No no
Whatre you shooting pigeons, man?
What wrong did they do you?
God damn you! I swear I can tear
you to pieces as I do to cloves
You man! Damn you!
Go to hell, all of you! All of you!
Back off!
-Back off!
-Let go of him! Damn you!
Back off!
Come on, back off!
Pull out!
-Come on
-Back off!
That day was a turning point
in Ahmed Abdel-Hay Kiras life
after the British killed his mother
and detained his father
and no one was left for him
except his grandma
The tribunal started
and lasted for 4 days
Villagers were accused of burning the crops,
killing the man who died of sunstroke
Four of them were sentenced to death,
on top of them was Abdel-Hayy Kira
They set the gallows on his land
and forced the villagers to attend it
so that no one would ever think
of defying the British again
Real scenes of Denshawai massacre
The execution arena and to the left,
a man who fainted before being whipped
Denshawai massacre exposed England
in front of the world
and forced Lord Cromer, the Consul-General,
to resign
Ive always been told that Egyptians dont
generally show great amount of gratitude
On his last day in Egypt, he described us
as uncultured
Towards the aids and privileges
that were questionably compelled upon them
I dont know what their feelings are
in this respect
But I refuse to believe that the Egyptians
in all cases, dont recognize
that the western civilization
acting mainly during the last 25 years
Through the instrumentality of England
which raised them from the slum
of this pond
in which their lot was to be cast
which opened to them the road
to prosperity
I believe its a fact
That the children of the blind
are able to see
On this day, an Egyptian lawyer called
Saad Zaghloul heard this humiliation
After 13 years, he told the British:
Enough occupation, go back to your country
And the answer was Refusal
Kira and El-Jinn
March 8, 1919
The British camp downtown
Simson! Cigarettes? High-quality
cigarettes!
Whats with you, Johnny? Get closer,
you feel embarrassed or what?
You need cig? Give me money. OK
Enjoy! Roots!
Come on, Jack! Give me money.
Here
Sniff it slowly, Jack,
in order not to hurt your nose
Kotarelly!
Welcome, Colonel Douglas
Very good whiskey in town,

If I ever catch you
without your sanitary mask,
Youll never enter this camp again,
Jinn
No, no, no! Jinn has no influenza.
Jinn is clean
Long live King George V
Kotarelly!
My dad forbade me from going
to the movies
Hey, Salah!
Get me nutmeg and halawa quickly.
Her dad is very strict
Hurry up, boy! I swear
-My dad forbade me
-Listen, take off your socks
Here! How indecent you are!
Take it off quickly!
Get closer, I cant raise my voice
Do you buy the dope from
El-Husseinyas dealers, Jinn?
No way, boss! Who said this nonsense!
No one dares lie to Arabi El-Tormay
(Tram)
Youll leave the automobile
with the chick inside it
and youll come down on your knees
with your tail between your legs
Or Ill cause your old father
to be handicapped
and youll be hidden forever
Do jinn say prayers before death?
Yeah, Jinn say prayers
But trams are taken for a ride
Lets go
Next time, we may not be here
OK, foreigner
-Oriental Casino
-I sniff cocaine, Im so poor
My nose hurts and my heart aches
And my eyes are rolling
to the left and to the right
Are rolling to the left
and to the right
And now its time for the belly-dancer
Narges
Brandy
My cards only have girls
Do you need a king like you?
You want to play?
I want that one
Narges?
Shes the best coquette
Like the one in the Arabian Nights Tales.
Shes so hot like an express train
How much?
For you, because I like you
One riyal is fair
But on one condition, treat her nice
No boxing! Shes my sister
My name is Katkout
Finish your drink,
Ill be waiting outside
Very hot!
Sweet potato!
Love is so delightful
Parting is so painful
-Hot sweet potato!
-Parting is so painful
Love is so delightful
Parting is so painful
Love is so delightful
Parting is so painful
Parting is so painful
-You third wheel
-Watch out, your likes are everywhere
-Hot sweet potato!
-Love is so delightful
-Where did she go?
-Preparing things for the night
Do you like sweet potato?
Ill buy you one
-I want a hot one please
-Its very hot
A gift to the King of England, no peace
for your men in Egypt before its independence
Damn you, my father will wake up
Get inside
Abdel-Qader! Abdel-Qader!
-Abdel-Qader!
-I told you youre a bad omen
Youre not destined to enjoy it.
Get up! Come on
Stop laughing and go away quickly
Abdel-Qader!
-Abdel-Qader!
-Yes, pa, coming!
-Whats the matter, pa?
-Did you fight with Arabi El-Tormai?
Hes a mean guy, he wanted
to take my automobile
He also insulted you,
so I hit him on the face
People in the neighbourhood say you
sell dope in the British camp
What dope are you talking about,
father?
Its the British who bring
drugs to Egypt
Saad Pasha is struggling for independence
while my son is serving the British
Pa, were in 1919
The British defeated Orabi,
he Turks, the Germans and the Austrians
So, theyre the masters of the world
If it hadnt been for the British,
we wouldve been on the rocks
Plus, nothing ventured, nothing gained
Come on, whats with you, old Shehata?
Dont you crave for pastrami
and salted cod?
jinn
Stop envying me and describing me
as sly
Ive changed. Jinn is in the clear
You havent asked about your friend
for 7 years
Hassan Nashaat!
Come
The last thing I heard was that
you worked in the Palace
Its a golden chance for a guy from the
Resistance to see the Sultans palace
-Whatve you reminded you of me?
-The British detained Saad Pasha
And hell be sent to exile
in Malta tomorrow at dawn
The Sultan refused to pardon him,
but we were prepared for that
Do you work with Saad Pasha?
You havent changed, Kira!
Not exactly
I have a small group that is spreading
the exile news everywhere to Upper Egypt
The news will spread all over Egypt
in a few hours
People will take to the streets. Therell
be bloodshed. The British will go mad
The Resistance will put pressure
on the British and expose them
But Ive quit working with the Resistance
for a long time, Hassan
Yeah, I can tell that
from the rifle you pointed at me
I have to go to the hospital early.
So I need to sleep. See you later
Kira
Tomorrow March 9, 1919, therell be new
rules for the game with the British
Saad Pashas exile will either
be a beginning or an end
We should join hands like an army
Until victory is achieved
Ill tell you everything happening
inside the palace
And Ill provide you with info
that you can never imagine to obtain
And also with monetary aids and facilities
What matters is to appear
as if we dont know each other
Executing the Sentence
against Denshawai Offenders
My God! Youve been away for 2 nights,
Ahmed?
Good morning, Fahmy
Im sorry, Zeinab, the fever
is spreading extensively
Four cases died yesterday
God protect you! Wake up, Fahmy
Dont feign sleep!
Time to go to school
Ill take Fahmy to school and be right
back to prepare breakfast for you
Wait! Dont go out. No school today
-Why not?
-The British is up to no good
May they go to hell! Whyre you
going out then?
Will I let patients treat themselves?
Is Ahmed up, Zeinab?
Yes, granny, hes up
-She asked a lot about you
-OK
-Egypt is a free country
-Egypt is a free, independent country
-Egypt is a free, independent country
-Egypt is a free country
-Egypt is a free, independent country
-Egypt is a free country
-Egypt is a free, independent country

Ramez, dont let anyone stay behind
in the school
Dawlat, our starting point is Saneya School.
Then, well all meet at 12 in Attaba Square
Ishak, let all the workers move
and well meet at 12 in Attaba Square
The British soldiers who were everywhere
in the streets
Could never imagine in their wildest
dreams that their hangout place
Is only one meter away from the Egyptian
Resistance underground hideout
Seven brave persons meet everyday in it
and work on annoying the British
to drive them out of the country
The first of them is Ahmed Kira
After Denshawais incident, he sold his land
and moved to Cairo with his grandma
He studied both medicine and acting
and got so close to the British
That his friends used to call him
mockingly the British son
They didnt know he joined the Resistance
and learnt shooting
He met there Naguib El-Halabawy
The oldest man in the Resistance,
and now Kiras right-hand man
He was a civil servant, but because of
his engagement in politics, he was jailed
When he was released,
he joined the Resistance again
Ishak Naeem is a retired printing worker
and the fastest person to print fliers
Dawlat Fahmy is a brave Upper Egyptian
who moved to Cairo after her dads death
-She worked as a teacher in Saneya School
-They used to prevent women
She joined a women liberation society
-Women Liberation
-She was the 1st woman to join the Resistance
Ibrahim the painter, was the richest
and youngest of the Resistance guys
He designed the fliers and coloured the flags.
He fell in love with Alexandra the Armenian
When he found out she was a good shooter,
he made her join the Resistance
Sayed Abdel-Kerim was an Olympic
weightlifter
He has a brave heart
when dealing with the British
Ragheb Dawood is an Egyptian Jew
and a weapons expert
He was born mute, but he listens
and reads lips well
March 9, 1919
The Revolution Day
Saad Pasha was arrested yesterday
This could be the end of the Independence
dream or the beginning
Its a milestone after 37 years
of occupation
Today, Egyptians are required to stand up
to the strongest army in the world
If we get cold feet or go separate ways,
we wont be able to rise again
This is a golden opportunity. The British
are striking in London over pay
And theyre fighting against Independence
in Ireland and India
-and in every country theyre occupying
-Ready to sacrifice our lives for Egypt
-Egypt is a free, independent country
-Egypt is a free, independent country
-Egypt is a free, independent country
-Egypt is a free, independent country
- Ready to sacrifice our lives for Egypt
- Ready to sacrifice our lives for Egypt
Well join the people, surround them
and guide them to the right way
-Egypt is a free, independent country
-Egypt is a free, independent country
Egypt is a free, independent country
Theres a very tiny thread between
succeeding to scare the British
-and showing them how enraged we are
-Egypt is a free, independent country
-Egypt is a free, independent country
-Egypt is a free, independent country
And making a mistake that would take us
a hundred years backward
Egypt is a free, independent country
-Egypt is a free, independent country
-Egypt is a free, independent country
-Egypt is a free, independent country
-Egypt is a free, independent country
-Egypt is a free, independent country
-Egypt is a free, independent country
-Egypt is a free, independent country
-Egypt is a free, independent country
-Be ready!
-Egypt is a free, independent country
-They may fire at me
-Aim!
Its likely that any of us
may not go back home
Hold!
But this is what we agreed on since
the first day we joined the Resistance
We chose to be in the frontline
-Fire!
-Well be the first to be attacked
and the first to be killed by the British
Were all doing this,
not expecting anything in return
Our real gain is to live
in a free country
This is the moment were waiting for
Pluck your courage
-Everyone hide!
-Father! Father!
-Long live Egypt!
-Ready to sacrifice our lives for Egypt
Egypt is a free, independent country
Egypt is a free, independent country
God!
Egypt is a free, independent country
Long live Egypt!
-Egypt is a free, independent country
-Egypt is a free, independent country
3000 were killed in 1919 Revolution
and 70 were sentenced to death
Egypt is a free, independent country
-The Crescent and the Cross are united
-The Crescent and the Cross are united
Long live Egypt!
Egypt is a free, independent country
-The Crescent and the Cross are united
-The Crescent and the Cross are united
-The Crescent and the Cross are united

Total Independence or Death

Ill tell you something funny, Helbawy
Go ahead, Kira
Today, I met the daughter
of Trevor Braxton
The judge who gave the Abassyia men
life sentence
She came to the hospital carrying
an Egyptian child
Shes pro our case, Ill try
to get close to her smartly
-to collect more information
-A great idea! Shes beautiful
This way, well be having an agent inside
the Palace and another among the British
The British started to feel afraid,
and theyll be more afraid tomorrow
When we kill Colonel Douglas
That criminal killed 3 protestors today
One of them was an old man
belonging to Orabis army
That man leaves home at 6 am sharp
Helbawy, youll drive the automobile
toward the east
Traitor!
I ran out of bullets
Take my position
Come on
Wait!
-Come
-Hush!
Come!
Here is the boat! Hop in it quickly!
Hurry up, men!

In the evening, well pass by his mother,

Well tell her he died

Every month, well collect money

Who is that idiot?
Be careful the liquor youre
having doesnt catch fire
Put this on, therere patrols
Who on earth are you?
Why did you go to Douglas?
You caused the death

The British Camp- Investigation Dept.
Viscount Edmund Allenby
British High Commissioner
Brigadier Trevor Braxton,
Head of Mixed Courts
Sir, which one is Harvey?
Harvey, stand easy
As you learnt, Colonel Douglas was
killed today in broad daylight
This is a serious escalation
and very embarrassing for His Majesty
-Yes, sir
-Your task, Harvey,
Is to find and arrest the assassins,
and bring down the Resistance
Yes, sir
-You think youre up to the task?
-Ill find a solution
Good!
Thank you, sir
Mr Adam
Write this down
There were 5 perpetrators, possibly 6
The first
His shoeprint
Looks like an Egyptian constable shoe
The second fellow was driving
the milk truck
With a machine gun in the back.
Thats number three
The fourth man was shot
And they took his body with them
The fifth man
Was their guard
His job was to cover their escape route
The sixth man
That man was the closest in proximity
to Douglas when the gate opened
This is the mans sword
But why did he use a sword
when they had all those weapons
Check the origin of the sword
in the Egyptian records
Find out who it belongs to
On your knees!
-On your knees!
-Order!
You took part in Colonel Douglas
assassination
Assassination! Colonel Douglas is dead?!
Good grief! When?
Its useless to deny it. Our witnesses
saw you after you killed him
You escaped on a boat with others
Who are they?
Keep it away, foreigner.
Im not into politics
They were fishermen from the Levant.
I gave them money
to take me to the other bank
I swear I dont know them
Liar!
You asked for it!
Three, two, one!
-Narges!
-When they described a drunken man,
I told them it must be El-Jinn
Theres no girl in Al-Azbakeya
who doesnt know the macho guy
Give it a rest!
If you want to go on fighting the British,
meet us at this address
Caf Riche
How could you pretend to be British
with such big moustaches?
You havent visited us in 2 months,
the neighbours are picking at me
They kept wondering what my unmarried
daughter doing in Cairo alone!
I work there, ma, will they provide
for us if I return to the village
Sadeya, daughter of Fadl, fell in love
with a guy from Cairo
When his father knew of it, he killed
her and hid her body in the mountain
-Sadeya was killed?
-Two weeks ago, she deserved it
If your father wasnt dead and I
wasnt all alone, I would kill you as well
God forgive you, mother!
Take this money and keep it
Eleazer is back. I hope
well never need anyone
I wish he didnt come back. The British
seem to have sent us a replica of him
He hadnt uttered a couple of words
since he stepped out of the train
Welcome back, brother
Dawlat?
-You became a teacher in Cairo?
-The credit goes to you
Youre the one who toughened me up
Remember when we were little?
No one could break a sugarcane
as I did
Im Eleazers sister
How about Bostina, Shenoudas sister?
Your beloved?
Do you still want to marry her?
Whats wrong, brother?
Open up to me, Im Dawlat,
your confidante
They took us from our lands
They dragged us as if we were cattle
-Get moving, moron!
-Move it, boy!
They threw us in Sinai
and forced us do menial work
We dug wells, railways
and barracks for the British
One day, the Turks were here
They ordered us to carry weapons
Some of us refused to take sides
with the British against the Turkish
Those who refused were ordered
to stand in line
-And they told me to man up
-Shoot
Shoot! Shoot!
-The first one
-Shoot!
Was Shaaban, son of Moawad the grocer
Shoot!
The second
Will you kill your brother, Eleazer?
It was Shenouda, Bostinas brother
And the third was Atteya, son
Welcome back, brother, welcome back
I must go back to Cairo in the evening,
I have tutorials to give and
Welcome back.
Welcome back
More than a million Egyptians were
forced to fight in the British army
In the World War I
Half a million of them didnt come back home
What did he tell you?
Hes a bit tired
Whats it, Ahmed? Whats wrong?
A nightmare, Zeinab. Just a nightmare
-What did you dream of?
-I cant remember
Ill tell you something,
but please dont get angry
One of Fahmys schoolmates told him:
Your father is the Britishs Pet
How did you answer Fahmy?
I told him At least he doesnt sell hats
to the foreigners like the boys dad
Your dad is a doctor who treats poor,
sick people and they pray for him
And I also told him
That the British fear you
-Fahmy
-Whats worse than fighting the British
is having to spend time away
from his son
This is Arabi El-Tormay, the thug
of the neighbourhood or the fetewwa
Good morning, king!
What an extraordinary voice!
How did you come by it?
An old knife wound
Millimetres away from the oesophagus.
Youre a lucky champ
And what is this?
A fresh wound
Who reckless guy dares strike the thug?
Where may I find him?
Yeah El-Jinn!
-Jinn!
-Whats it, my lucky charm?
The British are looking for you
Nobody touches anything
Hes close
Nice shave!
Get out of my way
He ran away!
Hey, boy!
Go away from me!
-Jack!
-Catch him!
-Down with the occupation!
-Pull back!
-Down with the occupation!
-Pull back! Come on!
-Down with the occupation!
-Pull back!
-Down with the occupation!
-Dont get any closer
-Come on! Come on!
-Down with the occupation!
Down with the occupation!
Down with the occupation!
-Pull back!
-Down with the occupation!
Down with the occupation!
-Down with the occupation!
-Down with the occupation!
-Down with the occupation!
-Down with the occupation!
-Down with the occupation!
-Down with the occupation!
Doctor
Whatre you doing here?
Ive come to visit my grandfather.
God rest his soul
I thought Id lost it
This picture is very dear to me
If I had found any money in it,
I wouldnt have returned it Honestly!
Thank you. How can I ever repay you?
Perhaps, wed meet again
Maybe, at Caf Riche
Say at 8 next Tuesday
Unfortunately, I must go now
I have sick people to attend to
Living human beings, not mummies
-I thought I knew your name
-Ahmed Kira
-Akhmed?
-Ahmed, not Akhmed
-Ahmed
-Ahmed
-Ahmed Kira
-Ahmed Kira
What?
You have no fears?
Everybody has fears, Ibrahim
My father calls me the clown
because I love art and music
He keeps telling me: Youll never be
able to run the factory after me
I wish I could tell him
that I drink beer
And that I love Alexandra
and take part in demonstrations
-And struggle against the British
-Hush!
Whats with you, Hima?
Enough getting on the booze!
Youve drunk like a fish
Listen, theres no problem if you
tell him about Alexandra and the beer
but not about your struggle against
the British until they leave the country
I wish I could be as fearless as you,
Kira
Pretend that you fear nothing
until you and your enemy believe it
Fear wont stop death
The British paid me a visit
Am I a dead meat?
Does anybody tail you?
If you join us, youll have to stop
drinking alcohol or any other stuff
And you wont get paid,
we hardly make both ends meet
Excuse me, I dont take orders
except from the big boss
We seem to be a gang, guys
This is an anti-colonialization group,
not a gambling one
Our life is full of dangers. If you dont
obey orders, well all be done in
You can sleep here as of today
Be on the alert
If you find this lamp shaking, then
Makhali is warning you theres danger
You must have your eyes on it
all the time, agreed?
Abdel-Qader El-Jinn, our new comrade
Ragheb can hear you
Im Ibrahim Shawkat
Ishak Naeem
Dawlat Fahmy
How beautiful!
Naguib El-Halbawy, remember my name
If Kira is upset with you,
then youve upset me as well
Whyre you following me?
What a nutty woman!
Is that how you repay me for wanting
to keep you company to guard you?
I dont want anyone to keep me company
The nutty woman removes only the first
bullet, because Im quick-tempered
Youre quick-tempered?
Then I should walk with you
-Wherere you from?
-You smell of alcohol
Youre witty. Im from Upper Egypt too
and know it like the back of my hand
My uncles wife is from Asyut,
specifically from Nagaa Hamady
Nagaa Hamady is in Qena.
See you later
Hold it, I just want to know why you
got yourself in such danger?
A nice girl like you should live
the life of Riley
Not to join the Resistance
and stuff like that
I feel that youre weighed down
with cares, so am I
-We should open up to each other
-You have nothing to do with my cares
In Resistance, we dont chat
or shoot the breeze
If you want to have a chat, you can
contact one of Al-Azbakeya girls
-One hour will cost you pennies
-Al-Azbakeya girls!
May God forgive you! Wait up!
Have a look
Wait no, this is a matchbox.
Have a look
This handsome guy is me, and this coat
is made of English wool
And this car is mine,
one of the war gains
I have to introduce myself
My name is Dawlat Ghabriel Fahmy
You got the message?
-Would you give me a lift?
-So what?
-Sure
-Arent the Crescent and the Cross united?
Or are they just slogans?
Alright, Ghabriel, suit yourself
By the way, Ill appeal to you
-God is the Great
-God is the Great
Cairo Al-Hussein Mosque
-God is Great
-God is Great
-God is Great
-God is Great
Colonel Keive Stanley,
Commander of Central Cairo
12 killed and 30 injured
In a mosque its a disgrace
They made a silly mistake
They came out of mosque after prayers
and attached the armed vehicles
Just like did when they burned down
our stores
So you killed them?
Papa, the world hasnt forgiven us yet
for Denshawai
The voices of independence
are getting higher
In Ireland, India and now here
My darling, if we hear their demand
and leave Egypt
Itll be total chaos
Total chaos!
Think about it. Im one of the few
girls in the planet
who have the opportunity to discover
Tutankhamuns tomb
A discovery that could change
the world
I cant wait to see his majesty
Dr Kira, this is on the house
Thank you, Makhali
-Thank you
-Youre welcome
Youre quite known here
Youre different
Am I different?
-Yeah
-In what sense?
Well, an Egyptian drinking wine
with an English girl
in a middle of a revolution
against the British
And actually, youre here
with an Egyptian man
drinking wine in the middle
of a revolution against the British
Arent you scared?
Sometimes
In our being different
can be problematic
This is a trouble Im facing
back home with my mother
This is a trouble Im facing here
with my father
He thinks Im too rebellious
Well
You can say Im rebellious too
Rebels start wars
to end wars
-Dad prevents me from going to the movies
-I know this song
-and meeting you
-Dad prefents
-Its prevents, not prefents
-From going
-Prevents me from going
-From going
Should we dance?
Alright
-Like this?
-Yes
Super! Super!
Dance with me
-Answer me
-Answer me
Answer me, right
I should probably go home
Are you sure?
Perhaps, papa was right
An English lady should never drink
in a public place
Shall I see you tomorrow?
I cant tomorrow
Im attending a birthday party
in Grand Continental
Papa would be upset if I dont go
-Is it your fathers birthday?
-No
Colonel Kieve, his closest friend here
Maybe some other time?
I havent laughed that mucg
in a long time
Thank you
Ill see you soon
Know whose birthday is tomorrow?
Its uncle Kieves
The man who killed the people
at Al-Hussein
In Grand Continental, Halbawy. Of course,
well be waiting for him in the evening
and well have presents
Alcohol! Youll get us in trouble
Mind your own business,
wherere the people?
Be patient
Stay in the automobile and dont
drive before everyone gets in
You understand?
Take a cig
Would you lend me a riyal
till the weekend?
Give me a match
Dont budge, the nuns have arrived
Get in
Papa! Papa!
Drive off!
Come on, Jinn! Quickly!
Damn them!
-Whats it, Halbawy?
-Watch out, that bastard will catch us
Tie him up with ropes
-Kira!
-Come
Please, I have a child
This is my last day in Egypt
My leave permit was issued yesterday
Here
Look
Our Lord, do not burden us
as You have burdened those before us.
Our Lord, do not impose on us more
than we have the strength to bear;
and pardon us, and forgive us,
and have mercy on us.
Whereve you been, son?
Zeinab! Zeinab!
Dear, come, lets play outside
-I dont want to go out of here
-I want you, grandma
Zeinab!
Zeinab, concentrate please
Open your mouth. Good
Zeinab!
Whats wrong with Fahmy?
Why is he crying?
Fahmy is fine. You went out of home,
right?
-You stay out for long, Ahmed
-Its my job, Zeinab
But Ill never be away from you
You know? What youre going through
is not serious
Youll be as fit as a fiddle
in a couple of days
Please stop working for the British,
Ahmed
I dont want anyone to tell Fahmy that
his father is serving the British
Give me a promise
OK, Zeinab, I promise you
-Should I tell you something?
-Who are these pretty girls?
-Theyre angelic
-Zeinab
-Get them off my lap
-OK, I will
-Get them off
-Zeinab! Zeinab!
I seek refuge from the accursed Satan.
In the name of Allah
Zeinabs death was an unexpected blow
to Kira
She died while believing that Ahmed
was a servant to the British
She died and left Fahmy
who was only 12 years old
Kira felt afraid for the first time
in his life
when he imagined that Fahmy could lose
his father as he lost his mother
When Kira gets upset,
he shuts himself away
From the whole world
Meet El-Qorashy village-
Daqahleya governorate
100 peasants from the village were
killed by air-to-ground missile
-Allah
-Call for Him
-Allah
-Call for Him
-Allah
-Mentioning Him
-Allah
-Heals the hearts
-Allah
-Mentioning Him
-Allah
-Praise him
-Allah
-Praise the Prophet
-Allah
-O Allah
-Allah
-Even the flowers
-Allah
-They have thorns
-Allah
-Everything belongs to him
-Allah
-Everything is created by Him
-Allah
-Im a helpless human
-Allah
-I beg You
-Allah
-Im a helpless human
-Allah
-I beg You
-Allah
-To have mercy on me
-Allah
-To protect me from Hellfire
-Allah
-O Allah
-Allah
-Call for Him
-Allah
-Mention Him
You know, Kira? The first time
I saw you I felt you were a drag
playing high and mighty because youre
a doctor and work in a hospital
I felt like giving you a sound beating
and breaking up the glasses youre
bragging about to pieces
but now my heart bleeds for you,
pal
-How did you know my whereabouts?
-Your grandma
Shes worried about you,
and so are the guys in Caf Riche
Tell them Im quitting. Someone else should
take over and bear the responsibility
What does this mean?
I have an orphan child who I want
to look after, Jinn
Its enough that his mom died while
asking me to stop serving the British
She died without knowing
who she was living with
I spent my whole life putting on an act,
as if I was a professional actor
-And then I caused her death
-Have faith in God
What could youve done?
Its her fate
At least I wouldve been by her side,
I couldve saved her
-This doesnt sound like Ahmed Kira
-Ahmed Kira is torn to pieces
For years, Ive been working
to no avail
So many people died in front of me
They visit me every day in my dreams,
especially my father
I buried him with the rope stuck around
his neck, he was left hanged for 2 hours
I dont want Fahmy to go through
what Ive been through
At least, your father died
while feeling pleased with you
Until this moment, I dont have
the gut to visit my fathers grave
I just cant
I wish hed come and see
what Im doing now
Ill go on, Kira
Ill go on even if you quit,
its you who encouraged me
You made feel I had no value
among the British
But would be of a great value
among you even if I died
Its better for Fahmy to be an orphan
than grow up in humiliation
By the way, the British killed 100 persons
in Meet El-Qorashi village yesterday
Its said that they attacked them by
aircrafts while they were in the fields
If we were insects, they wouldnt
kill us this way!
Bye, Kira
Did you like the radio?
-Do you know what this thing is called?
-No
-Its pianola
-What is pianola?
The man keeps rotating the wheel
until it makes music
And people watch him and get amused.
Ive got an idea, Fahmy
What if I put you inside
the pianola and rotate you?
-Ill be minced into pieces
-You! Stop there!
-Who are you?
-Dr Ahmed Kira
Doctor?
Your son?
A beautiful boy
Tell me, brave one
Do you know how to do the military
salute to a British officer?
Please, sir, hes just a boy
Then teach him
Fahmy, I want you to raise your hands
with your fingers closed to one another
-And look at him
-You told me not to talk to the British
Youre right, Fahmy,
but only this time
Now you perform the military salute
-Didnt I tell you before
-After 6 months
That numbers outdo bravery?
Youve seen for yourself
its for real not imagination
-Hold your cat tight, Ishak
-Shame on you, Halbawy
You fear cats!
-Hello. Hi, Jinn
-Hello, howre you, pal?
-Fine Come on, man
-Cant believe youre scared of cats
Want a cig? OK, take the whole pack
-Who you expected it to be? Ishak
-Kira! Welcome back
Kira! Kira! I missed you, man.
Welcome back
Howre you, Dawlat?
Howre you, Halbawy?
-I was waiting for Kira
-Howre you doing, Jinn?
You were eating salted fish without me?!
The Resistance isnt the same
We cant without you
Dont devour it, boy
I cant help it, its yummy
-Alright
-Cheers
Didnt I tell you before
that numbers outdo bravery?
Youve seen for yourself
its for real not imagination
what used to spoil our lives
is that man would turn out
to be another one
What do they have to do
with our religion?
They got into our country
and drove a wedge among us
but we uncovered his scheme
and grew more united
Although life smiled at them
and theyre richer and luckier
we look like a running river
while they look like a dirty drain
When you live in the Nile Valley,
you dont get enough water
while the foreigners get it all
I hope youll have better luck.
We dont have money or houses
we even borrow the clothes
we put on
What a disgusting life!
When will the Egyptian peoples
money be invested in it?
You invest the money
and we do the effort
Two heads are better than one
Welcome back, Kira
-Hows the judges daughter?
-Havent met her since the last operation
Its enough that she led us to Kieve
Come on, man, how could you waste
a source like the judges daughter?
Is the judges daughter pretty?
Shes pretty, Jinn,
but shes just a source
-Its a mere charade
-A charade!
Im thinking of a charade thats much
better than this one
And thats how well celebrate your return
And at the same time, Ill be visiting
the camp I used to work at
You must be crazy!
Its like a fortress
Wait, Halbawy, let him continue.
Go on, Jinn
I have devilish schemes and I know
every inch of that camp
The meat automobile goes there
every day at 10 pm
Well get in it and sneak inside it
Well plant explosives in the biggest
weapon cache in the capital
and well go out unnoticed
How many of us will die
in this operation, Mr Smart?
-Its a good chance, Halbawy
-Its a suicidal operation
Excuse me, I want to leave
before the patrols start
-Bye
-Bye
Take care, Dawlat
Think about it, Kira
Goodbye
Hey, queen!
Isnt it high time we get close
to each other? Time flies
The 37-year British occupation could
last for many more decades
Seems youve got my point when I told you
Im a Coptic Upper Egyptian
A girl is buried in the mountain if shes
on a relationship with an urban man
What should I do with you?
I dont know how to get to you
Why havent you got married until now?
I was deeply in love with a girl
But she knew an Austrian man
and eloped with him
So I decided to live like a king
and buy an automobile
Really?
Is that why you became a playboy,
a crook and an addict?
Im neither a playboy, a crook
nor an addict
Im healthy and as fit as a fiddle
Just look at me. Jinn is in the clear
Do you still miss her?
Ive forgotten her since I saw you
and heard your tough
Upper Egyptian words
and felt your strong handshake
Your name is Abdel-Qader, isnt it?
The best time I heard it
If you really love me,
quit wine and drugs
Dawlat!
Dont let our lives be wasted
You have big dreams, Jinn
By the way,
El-Jinn is not just in good health
El-Jinn works out miracles
Come on, cabbie
Alright, move on
You go
Is anybody there?
Is anybody there?
-Hurry up, Ibrahim
-Alright, alright
Back off
Ibrahim!
OK, coming!
Hurry up, Ibrahim!
Come on!
Come on, Ibrahim
Kira
Come on, Ibrahim
Ibrahim!
Sir
-Yes, sir
-Im expecting a call from the king shortly
He wants to know what happened
in the camp
With respect, sir, this is a new level
of resistance
A big shift in strategy
Tell the King Ill have the perpetrators
in a matter of days
And its a promise
Love is dangerous here
Dawlat is not meant for you, Jinn
Because simply you wont be able
to protect her in time of danger
Al Lataef Al-Mossawarah
The Body of the Camps Criminal
Without any farewell,
Ibrahim was gone
A new vendetta with the British
And a sign that whats coming is
more difficult that even
What? Who?
-Good morning, dear Fahmy
-Thank you, Makhali
-Enjoy
-See how much he loves you?
-A cup of tea. Thanks
-Sure
Howre you, Emily?
I beg your pardon
Have we met before?
After the last time I saw you,
I was sent to Asyuit the very next day
Because of the Spanish influenza
For 9 whole months
Your son?
You never said you were married
Widower
Fahmys mother, God rest her soul,
died in 1918
Out of Spanish influenza
Would you like to join us?
Hello, Fahmy
No, dear, dont do that with her
This is not the right salute, Fahmy
Can we be friends?
-She smells of vanilla
-Hush
Whats got into you, Fahmy?
Youre not yourself
Fahmy has fallen in love with you
Me too
Would you come watch the new
Charlie Chaplin movie with me?
Bye
Perhaps
Yeah, great vanilla smell
-Get out
-Yes, sir?
We found these footprints
behind the eastern camp
And this is a matching shoe
which we recovered from your house
We also found shell casings
and bullets inside the camp
covered in your fingerprints
Your own fingerprints, Mr Halbawi
Verified by our records
Since your one and only previous arrest,
Youve somehow escaped
all the criminal charges
But now
Finally, you seem you singed
your own death warrant
Congratulations
But
I have a better offer
Hand me the resistance
and whoever financing them
And in exchange, Ill give you
a reward of 10 thousand pounds
As well as a monthly salary
of 30 pounds for life, and
And a pardon for your crimes
And Ill reinstall you in the government
What do you say?
Go back to your country, foreigner
Seems I havent made myself clear
Youll tell me their names
Or by God, youll get out of here
to the execution chamber
I was afraid you wouldnt come
Its Charlie Chaplin after all
What brought you
at such an ungodly hour?
I lost sleep
The English patrols are searching
the buildings near the girls dorm
You lost sleep or you came
to mess with the jinn?
My God!
I saw Mr Kira upstairs
with a foreign woman
This is the best proof that the Crescent
is united with the Cross
-Mr Kira never falls in the abyss
-Abyss
Is love an abyss?
Its a blessing
Whoever turns it down,
lives sadly ever after
Why have you been called Jinn?
When I was little, I was naughty
and hyperactive
I was an orphan and all women in the
neighbourhood were sympathetic to me
One of my neighbours was a scary chicken
One day, I decided to pull a prank
on her
I put on a black gown
and waited for her in the dark
She was coming downstairs slowly
I waited for her in ambush, and when
she was close, I popped out
and shouted Im the jinn!
When she saw me, she passed out
and broke her leg
Since then, the neighbourhood
has been calling me the Jinn
And you call me nutty?
I see you quitted drinking, eh?
For your sake.
I quitted just for your sake
I consider every day I spend here
as my last day
The only thing that makes me feel
Im still alive
is you
Miss Dawlat,
Would you dance with me?
Enough
-Ouch, you stepped on my foot
-Im sorry
Enough, Jinn. Enough
Well kill 100 of them Every day
you spend in prison, theyll pay for it
Hang in there, Halbawy
Youre getting old, Halbawy
Are you willing to sacrifice
your remaining years to a lost goal?
Do you seriously believe that a battle
of rebels can change anything?
The power of the British Empire
is unsurmountable
I may need to repeat my offer
Once more
Give me the names of the resistance
and whoever financing them
And in return, Ill give you a reward
of 10 thousand pounds
and a monthly salary of 30 pounds
for life
a full pardon of all your crimes
And youll be reinstated in the government
If Im set free, theyll know
I betrayed them
Hes afraid of letting him out now;
his friends will know he betrayed them
Thats precisely why we wont let you
out right away
If you agree to our offer
our very generous offer
youll first be handed a prison sentence
In the eyes of your friends, youll
be the hero youve always wanted to be
And in a short while,
youll be pardoned and released
And youll return to your life
a rich man
Ahmed Abdel-Hay Kira
Abdel-Qader Shehata El-Jinn
I wish I didnt have to go
What happened tonight?
Was it
Real
Remember Im rebellious
Good night, Dr Kira
Were you with someone just now?
A friend
We watched a film at Caf Riche
Does your friend have a name?
What does he do?
Hes an Egyptian friend, papa.
Dr Ahmed Kira
-Am I on trial?
-Oh, Emily
Dont forget your status
as a respectable British lady
-Good evening
-Good evening, sir. Welcome
Would you care for a drink, sir?
-Mr Adam
-Thank you, sir
One whiskey neat
A charming place. Yours?
Yeah, I bought it from its previous owner,
a French gentleman
-Your drink, sir
-Thank you
Sayed Darwish
The composer of the political song
-Yeah, Rise to your feet, Egyptian
-Rise to your feet, Egyptian
Rise to your feet, Egyptian
Egypt is always calling for you
A rousing melody, isnt it?
I suppose so
Tell me, Mr Makhali
Are pets allowed in here?
How did you know my name, sir?
This is Makhali, someone knew
about the hideout
The weapons
This is from the British army
Were in disaster.
Halbawy was arrested
Ragheb was killed,
and the hideout was seized
Someone is blowing the whistle on us
or theres a betrayer among us
Everyone must tell about their day
Ive been at home since the afternoon
I was at home
I was at Riche, then Dawlat came
Then Ragheb came and fixed the printer
Then Makhali lit the light
What brought you unexpectedly?
A patrol was searching near my place.
Couldnt find anywhere else to go
What about you, Kira?
You didnt tell us where you were
I was in Riche watching a film
with the judges daughter
Then I drove home and went home
Maybe, she pulled your leg
to hand us all in
Have you fallen for her?
I meet the judges daughter
to take advantage of her
-I know what Im doing
-No, you dont,
or else, you wouldnt have clicked
with a British girl
and dancing with her
above the Resistance hideout
Look, youre the last one to talk
about friendship with the British
Calm down, Jinn, calm down
Ragheb asked to stay with Dawlat
What now? Harvey now knows
everything about us
We must attack them
before they attack us
We should move out of our places and we
shouldnt go to work from tomorrow
Well face hard times
No one is obliged to go on
No! We must avenge those who were killed
If Ibrahim was alive, hed say
we must carry on
Ill change
My dear God! When did you pop out?
-Welcome
-Thank you
Narges, we want to spend a nice
evening with you
Oh! Has the ladies man picked up
his past habit?
Oh, no, Ive mended my ways,
thanks to you
Im now a Resistance man. We want to
spend a nice evening with a British man
An officer called Harvey.
Forget about the ladies man
Well travel in a horse carriage,
you and me
And the parrot behind me
Youre so funny
Soldier!
Dont you move!
Come on
Come on
The Egyptian, your friend
Did he by chance mention to you
that he is with the Resistance?
And Im pretty sure
He didnt tell you he is the one who
assassinated our dear friend Col. Kieve
And hes imposing himself upon you
so that he may kill your own father
I dont believe it
Emily
Your name is written on the list
of Egyptian sympathizers
in our Intelligence files
As of today, youre under surveillance
And if he dares to contact you,
come to me
Am I understood?
After one year
You sent with the messenger
that its urgent
A blow that cant be missed, Kira
The Armys Sirdar, Sir Lee Stack
He goes to the Military Ministry
every day and stay there till 8 pm
before he returns home in Zamalek
We dont have enough men
Its not an easy operation,
it needs good planning
Time is tight. It must be carried out
within two days
I have 3 men who are ready to take part
It wont be smooth sailing
after the operation
Theres an envelope here
and a post office address
Well be in contact through the postman,
he works with us
See you later
Cairo- November 19, 1924
Sir Lee Stack,
the Sirdar of the Egyptian Army
Run!
-Wheres the servants door?
-To the right
They say Egyptian cats have
7 lives
British cats have 9
Youll pay heavy price for that
But first
Tell me everything you know about
the assassination of Major General Stack
He wants to know everything
about the murder of Maj. Gen. Stack
-I know nothing
-He says he knows nothing
I was just running
Youre a reckless criminal
-The charges against you are countless
-The charges against you are countless
Your fingerprints have been traced
in the scenes of every operation
Your fingerprints are in all operations
Not to mention that you failed
to kill me
A woman came to testify
Let her in
Get him up
Who are you, madam?
Dawlat Gabriel Fahmy
-May I see your papers?
-Your papers?
A teacher?
-Please sit down
-Be seated
Youve come here to testify.
What exactly?
That man
Hes my lover
She says hes her lover
Yes, my lover for two years
-I know him well
-She knows him well
-He has nothing to do with politics
-He has nothing to do with politics
-And he never harms anyone
-And he doesnt harm anyone
That day
We had a date
on the assassination night
When the hubbub broke out and people
were scattered, we ran and were separated
When the commotion happened,
we started running. They were separated
-But hes not guilty
-He is not guilty
You arrested him by mistake
-You took him by mistake
-Mistake!
And where does your lover sleep
at night?
Where does your lover sleep?
-He hasnt been home for years
-He hasnt been home for years
At my place
He sleeps in her house
My house
This is quite a bold statement
for an Egyptian woman
Your angel came to save you
at the last breath
-Madam, please come with me
-Go with him
Stand right here
I think you two never had the chance
to take a photo together, had you?
What about taking one now?
A souvenir for this little gathering
Look at the camera
One, two, three
Smile for the picture
Thank you, maam, follow me
Sirdar Murder Suspect
makes important confession
Youll never imagine, mayor,
who came to the DA office today!
-Dawlat Fahmy
-Confessions of Sir Lee Stacks murderer
Sister of Eleazer. She came
to testify for her beloved, that slut
What a slut!
The whole village is speaking about our
family which has been marred in disgrace
That black sheep has brought shame
to the family
Dawlat, a telegraph for you
Come home, your mother is dying
Sir Lee Stacks murder caused a big blow
for the Resistance
I used to tell you that men dont cry
But now youve grown up
and I dare say that men do cry
Kira had to travel because his photo
was hung in all streets
He bid his grandma and son farewell
He couldnt promise when hed be able
to see him again
Its relatively small compared
to other tombs in the Valley of the Kings
What we found clearly show the speed
with which the priests kept the kings body
However, that didnt stop them from
preserving the statues that were touched
Youve finally met your king!
My God, youre brave
Ive come to say goodbye
After you humiliated me
And lied to me!
And used me as a bait
You couldve killed my father
You couldve killed me
Were in a war
Maybe, youd have done the same
This is our fate
I love you, Emily
You broke my heart
Harveys men are everywhere
Theyre waiting for a signal from me
if I see you
Youd better run
What else?
Kira is sending you his regards
-Hit me
-Forgive me
Stop!
Back off or Ill kill him
Stay back or Ill kill him!
Ill kill him!
Stay back or Ill kill him!
Stay back!
Eleazer, whats wrong with ma?
Wheres she?
A slut! You shrug off the disgrace, son!
With a photo and fake piece of news,
they believed El-Jinn told on them
Except for Kira, he didnt believe it
They had to contact each other
and plan for their escape
This is the moment Harvey
was waiting for
in which he finalized his plot
and brought all strings together
Death sentence was the ultimate fate
for all of them
Are you Eleazer Ghabriel Fahmy?
Who are you?
Are you Dawlats brother?
You killed Dawlat?
You put an end to your disgrace?
Your sister died as a chaste woman
Your sister was a heroine
You killed the most beautiful thing
within us
Turkey, Istanbul- After a year
I missed you, El-Jinn
Ive decided to undergo a plastic surgery
by a German surgeon to be able to be back
The Resistance will never stop, Jinn
Tell me how Fahmy is doing
Hell certainly be scared
when he sees me
You know? This is what hurts me most
But Ive no other option
Take care of Fahmy until Im back
Kira!
Howre you, Jinn?
Welcome back from prison, pal!
-When were you released?
-A month ago
Youre back to drinking?
Get to the point, man
The British are getting the upper hand
We want to remind them that
the Resistance never dies
Yeah, it never dies
But its over
After the Sirdars blow,
theres no one left except you and I
There is Kira is still there
Kira! Whatre you saying?
Are you crazy? Kira!
Kira is wanted and if he gets
out of Istanbul,
the British will know of it.
Youre talking nonsense
Thats if he returned as he was
Look at the man who came with me
Doesnt he look familiar?
Many people look alike.
He looks like Kira
Great! Listen to this scheme
Well travel with that guy and scratch
his passport photo a little
And well have a travel permit issued
for a three-person commercial delegation
Well leave that guy there
And well bring Kira out of Istanbul
with a new name
And how will I leave Egypt,
Mr Smart?
The British set a reward
for whoever turns me in
Youll sail in a fishing boat
or 2 or 3 hours in the sea
under cover of darkness
Then well all meet in Istanbul
-What do you think, Jinn?
-Ill ask Kira
Turkey, Istanbul- After one month
I missed you, buddy
This is to avenge Dawlat
I wish I died instead of her, buddy
I missed you, Kira
See what Ive brought for you? Fahmy
Hes very clever at school
Your grandma, may she live long,
is there for him
Its about time you come back home,
Kira
The British are running wild.
Theres no one to stand up to them
Im plotting for a huge operation
inside their forces
The bullets that will be shot there
will make the whole world know
that Egypts cause is still alive
Do you think the Turks will let you
do that? This is not where you belong in
Your presence in Egypt now is more important
than ever before
Photograph of the Passport Holder
Theres a great similarity,
but its a very big risk, Halbawy
Ive taken care of everything.
Youll be back to Egypt safe and sound
And well restore our lost glory
Go back to Fahmy, Kira,
and well strike back at the British
You can undergo the surgery
and change your features as you like
that you wont even recognize
your own self
Think about it, Kira.
Wheres the toilet?
That way
Did you tell Halbawy
about the plastic surgery?
Of course, not. I havent said anything
about you since you travelled
This is strange! Why did he mention
that Id change my features?
-How did Halbawy reach you?
-I found him in front of me
He kept looking for me
after he was released
Are you thinking
of what Im thinking of?
If hed ratted on us,
why would they have jail him?
If he had been released,
wed have suspected him
This is the only explanation
for what happened to us
And the letters were discovered
by the British
Its Halbawy, Jinn
-Halbawy is the traitor
-Its a trap
Wheres my money?
Youll kill them?
Cover my back
Kira!
I ran out of ammo
Kira, watch out
You, get him out of here!
Halbawy is running.
Dont leave him, Jinn
The hell with him!
I cant leave you
Ill take of Harvey.
Dont leave him, Jinn
Ive grown old, Jinn
Kira! Kira!
-You caught Halbawy, didnt you?
-Halbawy He met His Maker
Lets go
Kira!
Pull yourself together, friend
-Seems youre the one who will raise Fahmy
-No way, I have no time for that
Youre the one who will raise him
Come on, get up, my friend
You must tell Fahmy about his father
Get up so that when Fahmy grows up,
he wont find the British
in the streets
No
-Hell sing?
-Yes, Kira, hell sing
Hell sing
Havent I told you before
That numbers outdo bravery"
And here youve seen it for real..
Go on, Kira, have you forgotten it?
Go on, Kira
Will you leave me alone, my friend?
Farewell, Kira, farewell
Send my regards to my loved ones
On that day,
my father didnt die
That was his real birthday
Today, citizens,
-a great stage of struggling is over
-Evacuation of British soldiers in 1956
We havent carried out
those stages alone
but many generations have taken that
upon themselves
Many generations that preceded us
tens of years ago
They struggled, fought,
and fell martyrs but never gave up
Im Fahmy Ahmed Abdel-Hay Kira
Did you listen to the speech?
The son of the hero
who, along with his colleagues,
took their lives in their hands
and decided to stand up to the biggest
army in the world
The British army
Congratulations, uncle
I wish your dad was with us
Well take to the streets
and surround the people
Take me to the street, Fahmy,
I want to celebrate with the people
Well guide them
They may fire at us
Its likely that any of us
may not come home again
but this is what we agreed upon
the first day we joined the Resistance
The real test is that we all do that
for nothing in return
Our only gain is to live
in a free country
This is the moment were waiting for
They got into our country
and drove a wedge between us
but we uncovered his plot
and stuck together
Tribute to my father Waheed Hamed whom
Im inheriting his words Marawan Hamed
If Englands empire means ruling
the world as Denshawai has been ruled,
then there can be no more sacred
and urgent political duty on earth
than the disruption, defeat,
and suppression of the Empire
The renowned British playwright
George Bernard Shaw (1906)
The movie is inspired by true events,
yet cant be considered a historical text
Denshawai village, June 13, 1906
Good!
Come on!
God punish you!
-Super!
-Nathan, can you see that?
Nathan!
-Got it!
-May God punish you!
May God punish you all!
-Come on!
-Come on!
No no
Whatre you shooting pigeons, man?
What wrong did they do you?
God damn you! I swear I can tear
you to pieces as I do to cloves
You man! Damn you!
Go to hell, all of you! All of you!
Back off!
-Back off!
-Let go of him! Damn you!
Back off!
Come on, back off!
Pull out!
-Come on
-Back off!
That day was a turning point
in Ahmed Abdel-Hay Kiras life
after the British killed his mother
and detained his father
and no one was left for him
except his grandma
The tribunal started
and lasted for 4 days
Villagers were accused of burning the crops,
killing the man who died of sunstroke
Four of them were sentenced to death,
on top of them was Abdel-Hayy Kira
They set the gallows on his land
and forced the villagers to attend it
so that no one would ever think
of defying the British again
Real scenes of Denshawai massacre
The execution arena and to the left,
a man who fainted before being whipped
Denshawai massacre exposed England
in front of the world
and forced Lord Cromer, the Consul-General,
to resign
Ive always been told that Egyptians dont
generally show great amount of gratitude
On his last day in Egypt, he described us
as uncultured
Towards the aids and privileges
that were questionably compelled upon them
I dont know what their feelings are
in this respect
But I refuse to believe that the Egyptians
in all cases, dont recognize
that the western civilization
acting mainly during the last 25 years
Through the instrumentality of England
which raised them from the slum
of this pond
in which their lot was to be cast
which opened to them the road
to prosperity
I believe its a fact
That the children of the blind
are able to see
On this day, an Egyptian lawyer called
Saad Zaghloul heard this humiliation
After 13 years, he told the British:
Enough occupation, go back to your country
And the answer was Refusal
Kira and El-Jinn
March 8, 1919
The British camp downtown
Simson! Cigarettes? High-quality
cigarettes!
Whats with you, Johnny? Get closer,
you feel embarrassed or what?
You need cig? Give me money. OK
Enjoy! Roots!
Come on, Jack! Give me money.

Sniff it slowly, Jack,
in order not to hurt your nose
Kotarelly!
Welcome, Colonel Douglas
Very good whiskey in town,

If I ever catch you
without your sanitary mask,
Youll never enter this camp again,
Jinn
No, no, no! Jinn has no influenza.
Jinn is clean
Long live King George V
Kotarelly!
My dad forbade me from going
to the movies
Hey, Salah!
Get me nutmeg and halawa quickly.
Her dad is very strict
Hurry up, boy! I swear
-My dad forbade me
-Listen, take off your socks
Here! How indecent you are!
Take it off quickly!
Get closer, I cant raise my voice
Do you buy the dope from
El-Husseinyas dealers, Jinn?
No way, boss! Who said this nonsense!
No one dares lie to Arabi El-Tormay
(Tram)
Youll leave the automobile
with the chick inside it
and youll come down on your knees
with your tail between your legs
Or Ill cause your old father
to be handicapped
and youll be hidden forever
Do jinn say prayers before death?
Yeah, Jinn say prayers
But trams are taken for a ride
Lets go
Next time, we may not be here
OK, foreigner
-Oriental Casino
-I sniff cocaine, Im so poor
My nose hurts and my heart aches
And my eyes are rolling
to the left and to the right
Are rolling to the left
and to the right
And now its time for the belly-dancer
Narges
Brandy
My cards only have girls
Do you need a king like you?
You want to play?
I want that one
Narges?
Shes the best coquette
Like the one in the Arabian Nights Tales.
Shes so hot like an express train
How much?
For you, because I like you
One riyal is fair
But on one condition, treat her nice
No boxing! Shes my sister
My name is Katkout
Finish your drink,
Ill be waiting outside
Very hot!
Sweet potato!
Love is so delightful
Parting is so painful
-Hot sweet potato!
-Parting is so painful
Love is so delightful
Parting is so painful
Love is so delightful
Parting is so painful
Parting is so painful
-You third wheel
-Watch out, your likes are everywhere
-Hot sweet potato!
-Love is so delightful
-Where did she go?
-Preparing things for the night
Do you like sweet potato?
Ill buy you one
-I want a hot one please
-Its very hot
A gift to the King of England, no peace
for your men in Egypt before its independence
Damn you, my father will wake up
Get inside
Abdel-Qader! Abdel-Qader!
-Abdel-Qader!
-I told you youre a bad omen
Youre not destined to enjoy it.
Get up! Come on
Stop laughing and go away quickly
Abdel-Qader!
-Abdel-Qader!
-Yes, pa, coming!
-Whats the matter, pa?
-Did you fight with Arabi El-Tormai?
Hes a mean guy, he wanted
to take my automobile
He also insulted you,
so I hit him on the face
People in the neighbourhood say you
sell dope in the British camp
What dope are you talking about,
father?
Its the British who bring
drugs to Egypt
Saad Pasha is struggling for independence
while my son is serving the British
Pa, were in 1919
The British defeated Orabi,
he Turks, the Germans and the Austrians
So, theyre the masters of the world
If it hadnt been for the British,
we wouldve been on the rocks
Plus, nothing ventured, nothing gained
Come on, whats with you, old Shehata?
Dont you crave for pastrami
and salted cod?
jinn
Stop envying me and describing me
as sly
Ive changed. Jinn is in the clear
You havent asked about your friend
for 7 years
Hassan Nashaat!
Come
The last thing I heard was that
you worked in the Palace
Its a golden chance for a guy from the
Resistance to see the Sultans palace
-Whatve you reminded you of me?
-The British detained Saad Pasha
And hell be sent to exile
in Malta tomorrow at dawn
The Sultan refused to pardon him,
but we were prepared for that
Do you work with Saad Pasha?
You havent changed, Kira!
Not exactly
I have a small group that is spreading
the exile news everywhere to Upper Egypt
The news will spread all over Egypt
in a few hours
People will take to the streets. Therell
be bloodshed. The British will go mad
The Resistance will put pressure
on the British and expose them
But Ive quit working with the Resistance
for a long time, Hassan
Yeah, I can tell that
from the rifle you pointed at me
I have to go to the hospital early.
So I need to sleep. See you later
Kira
Tomorrow March 9, 1919, therell be new
rules for the game with the British
Saad Pashas exile will either
be a beginning or an end
We should join hands like an army
Until victory is achieved
Ill tell you everything happening
inside the palace
And Ill provide you with info
that you can never imagine to obtain
And also with monetary aids and facilities
What matters is to appear
as if we dont know each other
Executing the Sentence
against Denshawai Offenders
My God! Youve been away for 2 nights,
Ahmed?
Good morning, Fahmy
Im sorry, Zeinab, the fever
is spreading extensively
Four cases died yesterday
God protect you! Wake up, Fahmy
Dont feign sleep!
Time to go to school
Ill take Fahmy to school and be right
back to prepare breakfast for you
Wait! Dont go out. No school today
-Why not?
-The British is up to no good
May they go to hell! Whyre you
going out then?
Will I let patients treat themselves?
Is Ahmed up, Zeinab?
Yes, granny, hes up
-She asked a lot about you
-OK
-Egypt is a free country
-Egypt is a free, independent country
-Egypt is a free, independent country

Ramez, dont let anyone stay behind
in the school
Dawlat, our starting point is Saneya School.
Then, well all meet at 12 in Attaba Square
Ishak, let all the workers move
and well meet at 12 in Attaba Square
The British soldiers who were everywhere
in the streets
Could never imagine in their wildest
dreams that their hangout place
Is only one meter away from the Egyptian
Resistance underground hideout
Seven brave persons meet everyday in it
and work on annoying the British
to drive them out of the country
The first of them is Ahmed Kira
After Denshawais incident, he sold his land
and moved to Cairo with his grandma
He studied both medicine and acting
and got so close to the British
That his friends used to call him
mockingly the British son
They didnt know he joined the Resistance
and learnt shooting
He met there Naguib El-Halabawy
The oldest man in the Resistance,
and now Kiras right-hand man
He was a civil servant, but because of
his engagement in politics, he was jailed
When he was released,
he joined the Resistance again
Ishak Naeem is a retired printing worker
and the fastest person to print fliers
Dawlat Fahmy is a brave Upper Egyptian
who moved to Cairo after her dads death
-She worked as a teacher in Saneya School
-They used to prevent women
She joined a women liberation society
-Women Liberation
-She was the 1st woman to join the Resistance
Ibrahim the painter, was the richest
and youngest of the Resistance guys
He designed the fliers and coloured the flags.
He fell in love with Alexandra the Armenian
When he found out she was a good shooter,
he made her join the Resistance
Sayed Abdel-Kerim was an Olympic
weightlifter
He has a brave heart
when dealing with the British
Ragheb Dawood is an Egyptian Jew
and a weapons expert
He was born mute, but he listens
and reads lips well
March 9, 1919
The Revolution Day
Saad Pasha was arrested yesterday
This could be the end of the Independence
dream or the beginning
Its a milestone after 37 years
of occupation
Today, Egyptians are required to stand up
to the strongest army in the world
If we get cold feet or go separate ways,
we wont be able to rise again
This is a golden opportunity. The British
are striking in London over pay
And theyre fighting against Independence
in Ireland and India
-and in every country theyre occupying
-Ready to sacrifice our lives for Egypt
-Egypt is a free, independent country
-Egypt is a free, independent country
-Egypt is a free, independent country
-Egypt is a free, independent country
- Ready to sacrifice our lives for Egypt
- Ready to sacrifice our lives for Egypt
Well join the people, surround them
and guide them to the right way
-Egypt is a free, independent country
-Egypt is a free, independent country
Egypt is a free, independent country
Theres a very tiny thread between
succeeding to scare the British
-and showing them how enraged we are
-Egypt is a free, independent country
-Egypt is a free, independent country
-Egypt is a free, independent country
And making a mistake that would take us
a hundred years backward
Egypt is a free, independent country
-Egypt is a free, independent country
-Egypt is a free, independent country
-Egypt is a free, independent country
-Egypt is a free, independent country
-Egypt is a free, independent country
-Egypt is a free, independent country
-Egypt is a free, independent country
-Egypt is a free, independent country
-Be ready!
-Egypt is a free, independent country
-They may fire at me
-Aim!
Its likely that any of us
may not go back home
Hold!
But this is what we agreed on since
the first day we joined the Resistance
We chose to be in the frontline
-Fire!
-Well be the first to be attacked
and the first to be killed by the British
Were all doing this,
not expecting anything in return
Our real gain is to live
in a free country
This is the moment were waiting for
Pluck your courage
-Everyone hide!
-Father! Father!
-Long live Egypt!
-Ready to sacrifice our lives for Egypt
Egypt is a free, independent country
Egypt is a free, independent country
God!
Egypt is a free, independent country
Long live Egypt!
-Egypt is a free, independent country
-Egypt is a free, independent country
3000 were killed in 1919 Revolution
and 70 were sentenced to death

-Qasr El-Eini Hospital
-The Crescent and the Cross are united

-Ready to sacrifice our lives for Egypt
-God bless the martyrs!
-Ready to sacrifice our lives for Egypt
-Ready to sacrifice our lives for Egypt
-God bless the martyrs!

Why did you leave the house, father?

Your presence will only make things worse
for him and for us
Ill make sure he goes home
Its OK, youre very brave

Ill tell you something funny, Helbawy
Go ahead, Kira
Today, I met the daughter
of Trevor Braxton
The judge who gave the Abassyia men
life sentence
She came to the hospital carrying
an Egyptian child
Shes pro our case, Ill try
to get close to her smartly
-to collect more information
-A great idea! Shes beautiful
This way, well be having an agent inside
the Palace and another among the British
The British started to feel afraid,
and theyll be more afraid tomorrow
When we kill Colonel Douglas
That criminal killed 3 protestors today
One of them was an old man
belonging to Orabis army
That man leaves home at 6 am sharp
Helbawy, youll drive the automobile
toward the east
Traitor!
I ran out of bullets
Take my position
Come on
Wait!
-Come
-Hush!
Come!
Here is the boat! Hop in it quickly!
Hurry up, men!
-Heal the wound, Ibrahim
-Come on, Ibrahim
Were with you, Sayed
-Help us, Ishak
-Pull yourself together, Sayed. Come!
-Sayed!
-Sayed
Change his clothes!
In the evening, well pass by his mother,
she must see him before hes buried
Well tell her he died
in the demonstrations
Every month, well collect money
for her
Who is that idiot?
Be careful the liquor youre
having doesnt catch fire
Put this on, therere patrols
Who on earth are you?
Why did you go to Douglas?
You caused the death
of one of our men
If you dont speak, youll be dead
Back off! Back off!
Hell give him a lesson
Pick up what you dropped
Back off!
Enough! Stop fighting!
The patrol is coming
-He knew our faces
-Well find him
The British Camp- Investigation Dept.
Viscount Edmund Allenby
British High Commissioner
Brigadier Trevor Braxton,
Head of Mixed Courts
Sir, which one is Harvey?
Harvey, stand easy
As you learnt, Colonel Douglas was
killed today in broad daylight
This is a serious escalation
and very embarrassing for His Majesty
-Yes, sir
-Your task, Harvey,
Is to find and arrest the assassins,
and bring down the Resistance
Yes, sir
-You think youre up to the task?
-Ill find a solution
Good!
Thank you, sir
Mr Adam
Write this down
There were 5 perpetrators, possibly 6
The first
His shoeprint
Looks like an Egyptian constable shoe
The second fellow was driving
the milk truck
With a machine gun in the back.
Thats number three
The fourth man was shot
And they took his body with them
The fifth man
Was their guard
His job was to cover their escape route
The sixth man
That man was the closest in proximity
to Douglas when the gate opened
This is the mans sword
But why did he use a sword
when they had all those weapons
Check the origin of the sword
in the Egyptian records
Find out who it belongs to
On your knees!
-On your knees!
-Order!
You took part in Colonel Douglas
assassination
Assassination! Colonel Douglas is dead?!
Good grief! When?
Its useless to deny it. Our witnesses
saw you after you killed him
You escaped on a boat with others
Who are they?
Keep it away, foreigner.
Im not into politics
They were fishermen from the Levant.
I gave them money
to take me to the other bank
I swear I dont know them
Liar!
You asked for it!
Three, two, one!
-Narges!
-When they described a drunken man,
I told them it must be El-Jinn
Theres no girl in Al-Azbakeya
who doesnt know the macho guy
Give it a rest!
If you want to go on fighting the British,
meet us at this address
Caf Riche
How could you pretend to be British
with such big moustaches?
You havent visited us in 2 months,
the neighbours are picking at me
They kept wondering what my unmarried
daughter doing in Cairo alone!
I work there, ma, will they provide
for us if I return to the village
Sadeya, daughter of Fadl, fell in love
with a guy from Cairo
When his father knew of it, he killed
her and hid her body in the mountain
-Sadeya was killed?
-Two weeks ago, she deserved it
If your father wasnt dead and I
wasnt all alone, I would kill you as well
God forgive you, mother!
Take this money and keep it
Eleazer is back. I hope
well never need anyone
I wish he didnt come back. The British
seem to have sent us a replica of him
He hadnt uttered a couple of words
since he stepped out of the train
Welcome back, brother
Dawlat?
-You became a teacher in Cairo?
-The credit goes to you
Youre the one who toughened me up
Remember when we were little?
No one could break a sugarcane
as I did
Im Eleazers sister
How about Bostina, Shenoudas sister?
Your beloved?
Do you still want to marry her?
Whats wrong, brother?
Open up to me, Im Dawlat,
your confidante
They took us from our lands
They dragged us as if we were cattle
-Get moving, moron!
-Move it, boy!
They threw us in Sinai
and forced us do menial work
We dug wells, railways
and barracks for the British
One day, the Turks were here
They ordered us to carry weapons
Some of us refused to take sides
with the British against the Turkish
Those who refused were ordered
to stand in line
-And they told me to man up
-Shoot
Shoot! Shoot!
-The first one
-Shoot!
Was Shaaban, son of Moawad the grocer
Shoot!
The second
Will you kill your brother, Eleazer?
It was Shenouda, Bostinas brother
And the third was Atteya, son
Welcome back, brother, welcome back
I must go back to Cairo in the evening,
I have tutorials to give and
Welcome back.
Welcome back
More than a million Egyptians were
forced to fight in the British army
In the World War I
Half a million of them didnt come back home
What did he tell you?
Hes a bit tired
Whats it, Ahmed? Whats wrong?
A nightmare, Zeinab. Just a nightmare
-What did you dream of?
-I cant remember
Ill tell you something,
but please dont get angry
One of Fahmys schoolmates told him:
Your father is the Britishs Pet
How did you answer Fahmy?
I told him At least he doesnt sell hats
to the foreigners like the boys dad
Your dad is a doctor who treats poor,
sick people and they pray for him
And I also told him
That the British fear you
-Fahmy
-Whats worse than fighting the British
is having to spend time away
from his son
This is Arabi El-Tormay, the thug
of the neighbourhood or the fetewwa
Good morning, king!
What an extraordinary voice!
How did you come by it?
An old knife wound
Millimetres away from the oesophagus.
Youre a lucky champ
And what is this?
A fresh wound
Who reckless guy dares strike the thug?
Where may I find him?
Yeah El-Jinn!
-Jinn!
-Whats it, my lucky charm?
The British are looking for you
Nobody touches anything
Hes close
Nice shave!
Get out of my way
He ran away!
Hey, boy!
Go away from me!
-Jack!
-Catch him!
-Down with the occupation!
-Pull back!
-Down with the occupation!
-Pull back! Come on!
-Down with the occupation!
-Pull back!
-Down with the occupation!
-Dont get any closer
-Come on! Come on!
-Down with the occupation!
Down with the occupation!
Down with the occupation!
-Pull back!
-Down with the occupation!
Down with the occupation!
-Down with the occupation!
-Down with the occupation!
-Down with the occupation!
-Down with the occupation!
-Down with the occupation!
-Down with the occupation!
Doctor
Whatre you doing here?
Ive come to visit my grandfather.
God rest his soul
I thought Id lost it
This picture is very dear to me
If I had found any money in it,
I wouldnt have returned it Honestly!
Thank you. How can I ever repay you?
Perhaps, wed meet again
Maybe, at Caf Riche
Say at 8 next Tuesday
Unfortunately, I must go now
I have sick people to attend to
Living human beings, not mummies
-I thought I knew your name
-Ahmed Kira
-Akhmed?
-Ahmed, not Akhmed
-Ahmed
-Ahmed
-Ahmed Kira
-Ahmed Kira
What?
You have no fears?
Everybody has fears, Ibrahim
My father calls me the clown
because I love art and music
He keeps telling me: Youll never be
able to run the factory after me
I wish I could tell him
that I drink beer
And that I love Alexandra
and take part in demonstrations
-And struggle against the British
-Hush!
Whats with you, Hima?
Enough getting on the booze!
Youve drunk like a fish
Listen, theres no problem if you
tell him about Alexandra and the beer
but not about your struggle against
the British until they leave the country
I wish I could be as fearless as you,
Kira
Pretend that you fear nothing
until you and your enemy believe it
Fear wont stop death
The British paid me a visit
Am I a dead meat?
Does anybody tail you?
If you join us, youll have to stop
drinking alcohol or any other stuff
And you wont get paid,
we hardly make both ends meet
Excuse me, I dont take orders
except from the big boss
We seem to be a gang, guys
This is an anti-colonialization group,
not a gambling one
Our life is full of dangers. If you dont
obey orders, well all be done in
You can sleep here as of today
Be on the alert
If you find this lamp shaking, then
Makhali is warning you theres danger
You must have your eyes on it
all the time, agreed?
Abdel-Qader El-Jinn, our new comrade
Ragheb can hear you
Im Ibrahim Shawkat
Ishak Naeem
Dawlat Fahmy
How beautiful!
Naguib El-Halbawy, remember my name
If Kira is upset with you,
then youve upset me as well
Whyre you following me?
What a nutty woman!
Is that how you repay me for wanting
to keep you company to guard you?
I dont want anyone to keep me company
The nutty woman removes only the first
bullet, because Im quick-tempered
Youre quick-tempered?
Then I should walk with you
-Wherere you from?
-You smell of alcohol
Youre witty. Im from Upper Egypt too
and know it like the back of my hand
My uncles wife is from Asyut,
specifically from Nagaa Hamady
Nagaa Hamady is in Qena.
See you later
Hold it, I just want to know why you
got yourself in such danger?
A nice girl like you should live
the life of Riley
Not to join the Resistance
and stuff like that
I feel that youre weighed down
with cares, so am I
-We should open up to each other
-You have nothing to do with my cares
In Resistance, we dont chat
or shoot the breeze
If you want to have a chat, you can
contact one of Al-Azbakeya girls
-One hour will cost you pennies
-Al-Azbakeya girls!
May God forgive you! Wait up!
Have a look
Wait no, this is a matchbox.
Have a look
This handsome guy is me, and this coat
is made of English wool
And this car is mine,
one of the war gains
I have to introduce myself
My name is Dawlat Ghabriel Fahmy
You got the message?
-Would you give me a lift?
-So what?
-Sure
-Arent the Crescent and the Cross united?
Or are they just slogans?
Alright, Ghabriel, suit yourself
By the way, Ill appeal to you
-God is the Great

-God is Great
Colonel Keive Stanley,
Commander of Central Cairo
12 killed and 30 injured
In a mosque its a disgrace
They made a silly mistake
They came out of mosque after prayers
and attached the armed vehicles
Just like did when they burned down
our stores
So you killed them?
Papa, the world hasnt forgiven us yet
for Denshawai
The voices of independence
are getting higher
In Ireland, India and now here
My darling, if we hear their demand
and leave Egypt
Itll be total chaos
Total chaos!
Think about it. Im one of the few
girls in the planet
who have the opportunity to discover
Tutankhamuns tomb
A discovery that could change
the world
I cant wait to see his majesty
Dr Kira, this is on the house
Thank you, Makhali
-Thank you
-Youre welcome
Youre quite known here
Youre different
Am I different?
-Yeah
-In what sense?
Well, an Egyptian drinking wine
with an English girl
in a middle of a revolution
against the British
And actually, youre here
with an Egyptian man
drinking wine in the middle
of a revolution against the British
Arent you scared?
Sometimes
In our being different
can be problematic
This is a trouble Im facing
back home with my mother
This is a trouble Im facing here
with my father
He thinks Im too rebellious
Well
You can say Im rebellious too
Rebels start wars
to end wars
-Dad prevents me from going to the movies
-I know this song
-and meeting you
-Dad prefents
-Its prevents, not prefents
-From going
-Prevents me from going
-From going
Should we dance?
Alright
-Like this?
-Yes
Super! Super!
Dance with me
-Answer me
-Answer me
Answer me, right
I should probably go home
Are you sure?
Perhaps, papa was right
An English lady should never drink
in a public place
Shall I see you tomorrow?
I cant tomorrow
Im attending a birthday party
in Grand Continental
Papa would be upset if I dont go
-Is it your fathers birthday?
-No
Colonel Kieve, his closest friend here
Maybe some other time?
I havent laughed that mucg
in a long time
Thank you
Ill see you soon
Know whose birthday is tomorrow?
Its uncle Kieves
The man who killed the people
at Al-Hussein
In Grand Continental, Halbawy. Of course,
well be waiting for him in the evening
and well have presents
Alcohol! Youll get us in trouble
Mind your own business,
wherere the people?
Be patient
Stay in the automobile and dont
drive before everyone gets in
You understand?
Take a cig
Would you lend me a riyal
till the weekend?
Give me a match
Dont budge, the nuns have arrived
Get in
Papa! Papa!
Drive off!
Come on, Jinn! Quickly!
Damn them!
-Whats it, Halbawy?
-Watch out, that bastard will catch us
Tie him up with ropes
-Kira!
-Come
Please, I have a child
This is my last day in Egypt
My leave permit was issued yesterday
Here
Look
Our Lord, do not burden us
as You have burdened those before us.
Our Lord, do not impose on us more
than we have the strength to bear;
and pardon us, and forgive us,
and have mercy on us.
Whereve you been, son?
Zeinab! Zeinab!
Dear, come, lets play outside
-I dont want to go out of here
-I want you, grandma
Zeinab!
Zeinab, concentrate please
Open your mouth. Good
Zeinab!
Whats wrong with Fahmy?
Why is he crying?
Fahmy is fine. You went out of home,
right?
-You stay out for long, Ahmed
-Its my job, Zeinab
But Ill never be away from you
You know? What youre going through
is not serious
Youll be as fit as a fiddle
in a couple of days
Please stop working for the British,
Ahmed
I dont want anyone to tell Fahmy that
his father is serving the British
Give me a promise
OK, Zeinab, I promise you
-Should I tell you something?
-Who are these pretty girls?
-Theyre angelic
-Zeinab
-Get them off my lap
-OK, I will
-Get them off
-Zeinab! Zeinab!
I seek refuge from the accursed Satan.
In the name of Allah
Zeinabs death was an unexpected blow
to Kira
She died while believing that Ahmed
was a servant to the British
She died and left Fahmy
who was only 12 years old
Kira felt afraid for the first time
in his life
when he imagined that Fahmy could lose
his father as he lost his mother
When Kira gets upset,
he shuts himself away
From the whole world
Meet El-Qorashy village-
Daqahleya governorate
100 peasants from the village were
killed by air-to-ground missile
-Allah
-Call for Him
-Allah
-Call for Him
-Allah
-Mentioning Him
-Allah
-Heals the hearts
-Allah
-Mentioning Him
-Allah
-Praise him
-Allah
-Praise the Prophet
-Allah
-O Allah
-Allah
-Even the flowers
-Allah
-They have thorns
-Allah
-Everything belongs to him
-Allah
-Everything is created by Him
-Allah
-Im a helpless human
-Allah
-I beg You
-Allah
-Im a helpless human
-Allah
-I beg You
-Allah
-To have mercy on me
-Allah
-To protect me from Hellfire
-Allah
-O Allah
-Allah
-Call for Him
-Allah
-Mention Him
You know, Kira? The first time
I saw you I felt you were a drag
playing high and mighty because youre
a doctor and work in a hospital
I felt like giving you a sound beating
and breaking up the glasses youre
bragging about to pieces
but now my heart bleeds for you,
pal
-How did you know my whereabouts?
-Your grandma
Shes worried about you,
and so are the guys in Caf Riche
Tell them Im quitting. Someone else should
take over and bear the responsibility
What does this mean?
I have an orphan child who I want
to look after, Jinn
Its enough that his mom died while
asking me to stop serving the British
She died without knowing
who she was living with
I spent my whole life putting on an act,
as if I was a professional actor
-And then I caused her death
-Have faith in God
What could youve done?
Its her fate
At least I wouldve been by her side,
I couldve saved her
-This doesnt sound like Ahmed Kira
-Ahmed Kira is torn to pieces
For years, Ive been working
to no avail
So many people died in front of me
They visit me every day in my dreams,
especially my father
I buried him with the rope stuck around
his neck, he was left hanged for 2 hours
I dont want Fahmy to go through
what Ive been through
At least, your father died
while feeling pleased with you
Until this moment, I dont have
the gut to visit my fathers grave
I just cant
I wish hed come and see
what Im doing now
Ill go on, Kira
Ill go on even if you quit,
its you who encouraged me
You made feel I had no value
among the British
But would be of a great value
among you even if I died
Its better for Fahmy to be an orphan
than grow up in humiliation
By the way, the British killed 100 persons
in Meet El-Qorashi village yesterday
Its said that they attacked them by
aircrafts while they were in the fields
If we were insects, they wouldnt
kill us this way!
Bye, Kira
Did you like the radio?
-Do you know what this thing is called?
-No
-Its pianola
-What is pianola?
The man keeps rotating the wheel
until it makes music
And people watch him and get amused.
Ive got an idea, Fahmy
What if I put you inside
the pianola and rotate you?
-Ill be minced into pieces
-You! Stop there!
-Who are you?
-Dr Ahmed Kira
Doctor?
Your son?
A beautiful boy
Tell me, brave one
Do you know how to do the military
salute to a British officer?
Please, sir, hes just a boy
Then teach him
Fahmy, I want you to raise your hands
with your fingers closed to one another
-And look at him
-You told me not to talk to the British
Youre right, Fahmy,
but only this time
Now you perform the military salute
-Didnt I tell you before
-After 6 months
That numbers outdo bravery?
Youve seen for yourself
its for real not imagination
-Hold your cat tight, Ishak
-Shame on you, Halbawy
You fear cats!
-Hello. Hi, Jinn
-Hello, howre you, pal?
-Fine Come on, man
-Cant believe youre scared of cats
Want a cig? OK, take the whole pack
-Who you expected it to be? Ishak
-Kira! Welcome back
Kira! Kira! I missed you, man.
Welcome back
Howre you, Dawlat?
Howre you, Halbawy?
-I was waiting for Kira
-Howre you doing, Jinn?
You were eating salted fish without me?!
The Resistance isnt the same
We cant without you
Dont devour it, boy
I cant help it, its yummy
-Alright
-Cheers
Didnt I tell you before
that numbers outdo bravery?
Youve seen for yourself
its for real not imagination
what used to spoil our lives
is that man would turn out
to be another one
What do they have to do
with our religion?
They got into our country
and drove a wedge among us
but we uncovered his scheme
and grew more united
Although life smiled at them
and theyre richer and luckier
we look like a running river
while they look like a dirty drain
When you live in the Nile Valley,
you dont get enough water
while the foreigners get it all
I hope youll have better luck.
We dont have money or houses
we even borrow the clothes
we put on
What a disgusting life!
When will the Egyptian peoples
money be invested in it?
You invest the money
and we do the effort
Two heads are better than one
Welcome back, Kira
-Hows the judges daughter?
-Havent met her since the last operation
Its enough that she led us to Kieve
Come on, man, how could you waste
a source like the judges daughter?
Is the judges daughter pretty?
Shes pretty, Jinn,
but shes just a source
-Its a mere charade
-A charade!
Im thinking of a charade thats much
better than this one
And thats how well celebrate your return
And at the same time, Ill be visiting
the camp I used to work at
You must be crazy!
Its like a fortress
Wait, Halbawy, let him continue.
Go on, Jinn
I have devilish schemes and I know
every inch of that camp
The meat automobile goes there
every day at 10 pm
Well get in it and sneak inside it
Well plant explosives in the biggest
weapon cache in the capital
and well go out unnoticed
How many of us will die
in this operation, Mr Smart?
-Its a good chance, Halbawy
-Its a suicidal operation
Excuse me, I want to leave
before the patrols start
-Bye
-Bye
Take care, Dawlat
Think about it, Kira
Goodbye
Hey, queen!
Isnt it high time we get close
to each other? Time flies
The 37-year British occupation could
last for many more decades
Seems youve got my point when I told you
Im a Coptic Upper Egyptian
A girl is buried in the mountain if shes
on a relationship with an urban man
What should I do with you?
I dont know how to get to you
Why havent you got married until now?
I was deeply in love with a girl
But she knew an Austrian man
and eloped with him
So I decided to live like a king
and buy an automobile
Really?
Is that why you became a playboy,
a crook and an addict?
Im neither a playboy, a crook
nor an addict
Im healthy and as fit as a fiddle
Just look at me. Jinn is in the clear
Do you still miss her?
Ive forgotten her since I saw you
and heard your tough
Upper Egyptian words
and felt your strong handshake
Your name is Abdel-Qader, isnt it?
The best time I heard it
If you really love me,
quit wine and drugs
Dawlat!
Dont let our lives be wasted
You have big dreams, Jinn
By the way,
El-Jinn is not just in good health
El-Jinn works out miracles
Come on, cabbie
Alright, move on
You go
Is anybody there?
Is anybody there?
-Hurry up, Ibrahim
-Alright, alright
Back off
Ibrahim!
OK, coming!
Hurry up, Ibrahim!
Come on!
Come on, Ibrahim
Kira
Come on, Ibrahim
Ibrahim!
Sir
-Yes, sir
-Im expecting a call from the king shortly
He wants to know what happened
in the camp
With respect, sir, this is a new level
of resistance
A big shift in strategy
Tell the King Ill have the perpetrators
in a matter of days
And its a promise
Love is dangerous here
Dawlat is not meant for you, Jinn
Because simply you wont be able
to protect her in time of danger
Al Lataef Al-Mossawarah
The Body of the Camps Criminal
Without any farewell,
Ibrahim was gone
A new vendetta with the British
And a sign that whats coming is
more difficult that even
What? Who?
-Good morning, dear Fahmy
-Thank you, Makhali
-Enjoy
-See how much he loves you?
-A cup of tea. Thanks
-Sure
Howre you, Emily?
I beg your pardon
Have we met before?
After the last time I saw you,
I was sent to Asyuit the very next day
Because of the Spanish influenza
For 9 whole months
Your son?
You never said you were married
Widower
Fahmys mother, God rest her soul,
died in 1918
Out of Spanish influenza
Would you like to join us?
Hello, Fahmy
No, dear, dont do that with her
This is not the right salute, Fahmy
Can we be friends?
-She smells of vanilla
-Hush
Whats got into you, Fahmy?
Youre not yourself
Fahmy has fallen in love with you
Me too
Would you come watch the new
Charlie Chaplin movie with me?
Bye
Perhaps
Yeah, great vanilla smell
-Get out
-Yes, sir?
We found these footprints
behind the eastern camp
And this is a matching shoe
which we recovered from your house
We also found shell casings
and bullets inside the camp
covered in your fingerprints
Your own fingerprints, Mr Halbawi
Verified by our records
Since your one and only previous arrest,
Youve somehow escaped
all the criminal charges
But now
Finally, you seem you singed
your own death warrant
Congratulations
But
I have a better offer
Hand me the resistance
and whoever financing them
And in exchange, Ill give you
a reward of 10 thousand pounds
As well as a monthly salary
of 30 pounds for life, and
And a pardon for your crimes
And Ill reinstall you in the government
What do you say?
Go back to your country, foreigner
Seems I havent made myself clear
Youll tell me their names
Or by God, youll get out of here
to the execution chamber
I was afraid you wouldnt come
Its Charlie Chaplin after all
What brought you
at such an ungodly hour?
I lost sleep
The English patrols are searching
the buildings near the girls dorm
You lost sleep or you came
to mess with the jinn?
My God!
I saw Mr Kira upstairs
with a foreign woman
This is the best proof that the Crescent
is united with the Cross
-Mr Kira never falls in the abyss
-Abyss
Is love an abyss?
Its a blessing
Whoever turns it down,
lives sadly ever after
Why have you been called Jinn?
When I was little, I was naughty
and hyperactive
I was an orphan and all women in the
neighbourhood were sympathetic to me
One of my neighbours was a scary chicken
One day, I decided to pull a prank
on her
I put on a black gown
and waited for her in the dark
She was coming downstairs slowly
I waited for her in ambush, and when
she was close, I popped out
and shouted Im the jinn!
When she saw me, she passed out
and broke her leg
Since then, the neighbourhood
has been calling me the Jinn
And you call me nutty?
I see you quitted drinking, eh?
For your sake.
I quitted just for your sake
I consider every day I spend here
as my last day
The only thing that makes me feel
Im still alive
is you
Miss Dawlat,
Would you dance with me?
Enough
-Ouch, you stepped on my foot
-Im sorry
Enough, Jinn. Enough
Well kill 100 of them Every day
you spend in prison, theyll pay for it
Hang in there, Halbawy
Youre getting old, Halbawy
Are you willing to sacrifice
your remaining years to a lost goal?
Do you seriously believe that a battle
of rebels can change anything?
The power of the British Empire
is unsurmountable
I may need to repeat my offer
Once more
Give me the names of the resistance
and whoever financing them
And in return, Ill give you a reward
of 10 thousand pounds
and a monthly salary of 30 pounds
for life
a full pardon of all your crimes
And youll be reinstated in the government
If Im set free, theyll know
I betrayed them
Hes afraid of letting him out now;
his friends will know he betrayed them
Thats precisely why we wont let you
out right away
If you agree to our offer
our very generous offer
youll first be handed a prison sentence
In the eyes of your friends, youll
be the hero youve always wanted to be
And in a short while,
youll be pardoned and released
And youll return to your life
a rich man
Ahmed Abdel-Hay Kira
Abdel-Qader Shehata El-Jinn
I wish I didnt have to go
What happened tonight?
Was it
Real
Remember Im rebellious
Good night, Dr Kira
Were you with someone just now?
A friend
We watched a film at Caf Riche
Does your friend have a name?
What does he do?
Hes an Egyptian friend, papa.
Dr Ahmed Kira
-Am I on trial?
-Oh, Emily
Dont forget your status
as a respectable British lady
-Good evening
-Good evening, sir. Welcome
Would you care for a drink, sir?
-Mr Adam
-Thank you, sir
One whiskey neat
A charming place. Yours?
Yeah, I bought it from its previous owner,
a French gentleman
-Your drink, sir
-Thank you
Sayed Darwish
The composer of the political song
-Yeah, Rise to your feet, Egyptian
-Rise to your feet, Egyptian
Rise to your feet, Egyptian
Egypt is always calling for you
A rousing melody, isnt it?
I suppose so
Tell me, Mr Makhali
Are pets allowed in here?
How did you know my name, sir?
This is Makhali, someone knew
about the hideout
The weapons
This is from the British army
Were in disaster.
Halbawy was arrested
Ragheb was killed,
and the hideout was seized
Someone is blowing the whistle on us
or theres a betrayer among us
Everyone must tell about their day
Ive been at home since the afternoon
I was at home
I was at Riche, then Dawlat came
Then Ragheb came and fixed the printer
Then Makhali lit the light
What brought you unexpectedly?
A patrol was searching near my place.
Couldnt find anywhere else to go
What about you, Kira?
You didnt tell us where you were
I was in Riche watching a film
with the judges daughter
Then I drove home and went home
Maybe, she pulled your leg
to hand us all in
Have you fallen for her?
I meet the judges daughter
to take advantage of her
-I know what Im doing
-No, you dont,
or else, you wouldnt have clicked
with a British girl
and dancing with her
above the Resistance hideout
Look, youre the last one to talk
about friendship with the British
Calm down, Jinn, calm down
Ragheb asked to stay with Dawlat
What now? Harvey now knows
everything about us
We must attack them
before they attack us
We should move out of our places and we
shouldnt go to work from tomorrow
Well face hard times
No one is obliged to go on
No! We must avenge those who were killed
If Ibrahim was alive, hed say
we must carry on
Ill change
My dear God! When did you pop out?
-Welcome
-Thank you
Narges, we want to spend a nice
evening with you
Oh! Has the ladies man picked up
his past habit?
Oh, no, Ive mended my ways,
thanks to you
Im now a Resistance man. We want to
spend a nice evening with a British man
An officer called Harvey.
Forget about the ladies man
Well travel in a horse carriage,
you and me
And the parrot behind me
Youre so funny
Soldier!
Dont you move!
Come on
Come on
The Egyptian, your friend
Did he by chance mention to you
that he is with the Resistance?
And Im pretty sure
He didnt tell you he is the one who
assassinated our dear friend Col. Kieve
And hes imposing himself upon you
so that he may kill your own father
I dont believe it
Emily
Your name is written on the list
of Egyptian sympathizers
in our Intelligence files
As of today, youre under surveillance
And if he dares to contact you,
come to me
Am I understood?
After one year
You sent with the messenger
that its urgent
A blow that cant be missed, Kira
The Armys Sirdar, Sir Lee Stack
He goes to the Military Ministry
every day and stay there till 8 pm
before he returns home in Zamalek
We dont have enough men
Its not an easy operation,
it needs good planning
Time is tight. It must be carried out
within two days
I have 3 men who are ready to take part
It wont be smooth sailing
after the operation
Theres an envelope here
and a post office address
Well be in contact through the postman,
he works with us
See you later
Cairo- November 19, 1924
Sir Lee Stack,
the Sirdar of the Egyptian Army
Run!
-Wheres the servants door?
-To the right
They say Egyptian cats have
7 lives
British cats have 9
Youll pay heavy price for that
But first
Tell me everything you know about
the assassination of Major General Stack
He wants to know everything
about the murder of Maj. Gen. Stack
-I know nothing
-He says he knows nothing
I was just running
Youre a reckless criminal
-The charges against you are countless
-The charges against you are countless
Your fingerprints have been traced
in the scenes of every operation
Your fingerprints are in all operations
Not to mention that you failed
to kill me
A woman came to testify
Let her in
Get him up
Who are you, madam?
Dawlat Gabriel Fahmy
-May I see your papers?
-Your papers?
A teacher?
-Please sit down
-Be seated
Youve come here to testify.
What exactly?
That man
Hes my lover
She says hes her lover
Yes, my lover for two years
-I know him well
-She knows him well
-He has nothing to do with politics
-He has nothing to do with politics
-And he never harms anyone
-And he doesnt harm anyone
That day
We had a date
on the assassination night
When the hubbub broke out and people
were scattered, we ran and were separated
When the commotion happened,
we started running. They were separated
-But hes not guilty
-He is not guilty
You arrested him by mistake
-You took him by mistake
-Mistake!
And where does your lover sleep
at night?
Where does your lover sleep?
-He hasnt been home for years
-He hasnt been home for years
At my place
He sleeps in her house
My house
This is quite a bold statement
for an Egyptian woman
Your angel came to save you
at the last breath
-Madam, please come with me
-Go with him
Stand right here
I think you two never had the chance
to take a photo together, had you?
What about taking one now?
A souvenir for this little gathering
Look at the camera
One, two, three
Smile for the picture
Thank you, maam, follow me
Sirdar Murder Suspect
makes important confession
Youll never imagine, mayor,
who came to the DA office today!
-Dawlat Fahmy
-Confessions of Sir Lee Stacks murderer
Sister of Eleazer. She came
to testify for her beloved, that slut
What a slut!
The whole village is speaking about our
family which has been marred in disgrace
That black sheep has brought shame
to the family
Dawlat, a telegraph for you
Come home, your mother is dying
Sir Lee Stacks murder caused a big blow
for the Resistance
I used to tell you that men dont cry
But now youve grown up
and I dare say that men do cry
Kira had to travel because his photo
was hung in all streets
He bid his grandma and son farewell
He couldnt promise when hed be able
to see him again
Its relatively small compared
to other tombs in the Valley of the Kings
What we found clearly show the speed
with which the priests kept the kings body
However, that didnt stop them from
preserving the statues that were touched
Youve finally met your king!
My God, youre brave
Ive come to say goodbye
After you humiliated me
And lied to me!
And used me as a bait
You couldve killed my father
You couldve killed me
Were in a war
Maybe, youd have done the same
This is our fate
I love you, Emily
You broke my heart
Harveys men are everywhere
Theyre waiting for a signal from me
if I see you
Youd better run
What else?
Kira is sending you his regards
-Hit me
-Forgive me
Stop!
Back off or Ill kill him
Stay back or Ill kill him!
Ill kill him!
Stay back or Ill kill him!
Stay back!
Eleazer, whats wrong with ma?
Wheres she?
A slut! You shrug off the disgrace, son!
With a photo and fake piece of news,
they believed El-Jinn told on them
Except for Kira, he didnt believe it
They had to contact each other
and plan for their escape
This is the moment Harvey
was waiting for
in which he finalized his plot
and brought all strings together
Death sentence was the ultimate fate
for all of them
Are you Eleazer Ghabriel Fahmy?
Who are you?
Are you Dawlats brother?
You killed Dawlat?
You put an end to your disgrace?
Your sister died as a chaste woman
Your sister was a heroine
You killed the most beautiful thing
within us
Turkey, Istanbul- After a year
I missed you, El-Jinn
Ive decided to undergo a plastic surgery
by a German surgeon to be able to be back
The Resistance will never stop, Jinn
Tell me how Fahmy is doing
Hell certainly be scared
when he sees me
You know? This is what hurts me most
But Ive no other option
Take care of Fahmy until Im back
Kira!
Howre you, Jinn?
Welcome back from prison, pal!
-When were you released?
-A month ago
Youre back to drinking?
Get to the point, man
The British are getting the upper hand
We want to remind them that
the Resistance never dies
Yeah, it never dies
But its over
After the Sirdars blow,
theres no one left except you and I
There is Kira is still there
Kira! Whatre you saying?
Are you crazy? Kira!
Kira is wanted and if he gets
out of Istanbul,
the British will know of it.
Youre talking nonsense
Thats if he returned as he was
Look at the man who came with me
Doesnt he look familiar?
Many people look alike.
He looks like Kira
Great! Listen to this scheme
Well travel with that guy and scratch
his passport photo a little
And well have a travel permit issued
for a three-person commercial delegation
Well leave that guy there
And well bring Kira out of Istanbul
with a new name
And how will I leave Egypt,
Mr Smart?
The British set a reward
for whoever turns me in
Youll sail in a fishing boat
or 2 or 3 hours in the sea
under cover of darkness
Then well all meet in Istanbul
-What do you think, Jinn?
-Ill ask Kira
Turkey, Istanbul- After one month
I missed you, buddy
This is to avenge Dawlat
I wish I died instead of her, buddy
I missed you, Kira
See what Ive brought for you? Fahmy
Hes very clever at school
Your grandma, may she live long,
is there for him
Its about time you come back home,
Kira
The British are running wild.
Theres no one to stand up to them
Im plotting for a huge operation
inside their forces
The bullets that will be shot there
will make the whole world know
that Egypts cause is still alive
Do you think the Turks will let you
do that? This is not where you belong in
Your presence in Egypt now is more important
than ever before
Photograph of the Passport Holder
Theres a great similarity,
but its a very big risk, Halbawy
Ive taken care of everything.
Youll be back to Egypt safe and sound
And well restore our lost glory
Go back to Fahmy, Kira,
and well strike back at the British
You can undergo the surgery
and change your features as you like
that you wont even recognize
your own self
Think about it, Kira.
Wheres the toilet?
That way
Did you tell Halbawy
about the plastic surgery?
Of course, not. I havent said anything
about you since you travelled
This is strange! Why did he mention
that Id change my features?
-How did Halbawy reach you?
-I found him in front of me
He kept looking for me
after he was released
Are you thinking
of what Im thinking of?
If hed ratted on us,
why would they have jail him?
If he had been released,
wed have suspected him
This is the only explanation
for what happened to us
And the letters were discovered

-Halbawy He met His Maker
Lets go
Kira!
Pull yourself together, friend
-Seems youre the one who will raise Fahmy
-No way, I have no time for that
Youre the one who will raise him
Come on, get up, my friend
You must tell Fahmy about his father
Get up so that when Fahmy grows up,
he wont find the British
in the streets
No
-Hell sing?
-Yes, Kira, hell sing
Hell sing
Havent I told you before
That numbers outdo bravery"
And here youve seen it for real..
Go on, Kira, have you forgotten it?
Go on, Kira
Will you leave me alone, my friend?
Farewell, Kira, farewell
Send my regards to my loved ones
On that day,
my father didnt die
That was his real birthday
Today, citizens,
-a great stage of struggling is over
-Evacuation of British soldiers in 1956
We havent carried out
those stages alone
but many generations have taken that
upon themselves
Many generations that preceded us
tens of years ago
They struggled, fought,
and fell martyrs but never gave up
Im Fahmy Ahmed Abdel-Hay Kira
Did you listen to the speech?
The son of the hero
who, along with his colleagues,
took their lives in their hands
and decided to stand up to the biggest
army in the world
The British army
Congratulations, uncle
I wish your dad was with us
Well take to the streets
and surround the people
Take me to the street, Fahmy,
I want to celebrate with the people
Well guide them
They may fire at us
Its likely that any of us
may not come home again
but this is what we agreed upon
the first day we joined the Resistance
The real test is that we all do that
for nothing in return
Our only gain is to live
in a free country
This is the moment were waiting for
They got into our country
and drove a wedge between us
but we uncovered his plot
and stuck together
