The Fakenapping (2025) Movie Script
[gentle music playing on PA]
[woman] Girl.
What are you looking at?
[tapping]
[woman] In the Name of Allah.
In the Name of Allah.
[man] You're killing me.
I can't. I swear, I can't. I just can't.
I'm suffocating, I swear.
And while I was checking out
at the cashier, everybody was staring.
You didn't do the challenge correctly.
The deal was to film yourself
in the supermarket.
[daughter giggles]
These challenges
are never going to happen again.
- [laughs]
- How could you?
Embarrassing your father
in front of everyone?
How come? It's totally unacceptable.
- The challenge...
- No, I won't accept this.
- [daughter continues speaking]
- [tense music playing]
- Sweetie, I'll call you later. Bye.
- No, don't hang up.
No. It's just a couple of minutes.
- Stay with me.
- I won't be long. I won't.
- Hello?
- [call disconnects]
[tense music swells]
[tires squeal]
[SUV engine revs]
[engine splutters]
[truck horn blares]
[SUV brakes screech]
[tense music dies down]
[tense music fades out]
[ringtone playing]
[sighs]
[phone chimes]
- [daughter] What's wrong?
- Nothing. I'm fine.
- You weren't answering.
- [father] Okay. I'm home, sweetheart.
Give me a couple of minutes,
and I'll be there.
- No. Stay with me.
- I'll be right there.
- [call disconnects]
- [tense music resumes]
[SUV tires squeal]
[tense music swells]
[brakes screech]
[tense music cuts out]
[car door opens]
[gasps]
Abu Ateq? What was all that about?
I swear I thought it was
that wicked thief that lives here.
When you borrow money
from Abu Ateq and, uh you don't pay up,
what happens to you?
Guys, you're really making
a big deal out of nothing.
Besides, what are you worried about?
Who said Abu Ateq gets worried?
- I never worry, Sattam.
- I know you never worry.
But I swear to you, guys,
business means loss as well as gain.
I never lose, Sattam.
I'm a man you owe money to.
And, Sattam,
if you don't pay me back willingly,
I can take it by force.
Ten days from now,
I want my money to be ready.
Just take it easy, please.
Give me just one month.
- And I'll give you 50,000...
- Why would I want 50?
I want it all back, 250. Okay?
Wait. Ten days won't be enough for me.
I swear.
- Okay. With 50,000...
- No one told you to mortgage your house.
- I can get you the rest of the... Wait!
- [man] Get out of the car. Get out!
[mellow music playing]
[siren wailing in distance]
THE FAKENAPPING
[indistinct chatter on TV]
[door creaks open]
- Hi. Hi. Hi.
- Why did you take off the mask?
Let's go to the supermarket
so I can see you wearing it.
Let's do it tomorrow because I'm
really exhausted from work, sweetheart.
I can't now.
What a beautiful artistic drawing.
You're a real artist.
You should paint the entire neighborhood.
Why are your clothes
all dirty and messed up?
Did you walk home?
No, I didn't walk home.
Let's just focus
on your beautiful drawing.
You should paint the entire neighborhood.
Let's decorate the house with flowers.
[in Arabic] My whole life
Is about patience and endurance
While others
Are leading the happy life
- [in English] Hello, Your Highness.
- An hour to fetch some coriander?
What is that thing?
- This?
- Uh, yes.
- It's a fryer.
- I know. Where'd you get it from?
From my sister.
But you're the eldest in the family.
How could you take something
from your sister?
My sister and I are one.
- Your plate, dear?
- Just a little.
Here.
- [loud click]
- [electricity whirs]
[daughter] Now the jinns will come.
[mother] I seek refuge in Allah from them.
[Sattam] It's the electricity again.
That's the second time this month.
They did tell me.
They pushed an envelope under the door
saying they'll shut it down today.
It's just that it's happened twice.
Even the neighbors said the same thing.
Grandma, put on the candles.
I want to listen to the jinns.
[mother] You have school tomorrow.
Eat your food and go to bed.
We're all going to bed.
- Daddy, if you see the jinns, tell me.
- Yes, sweetie?
But jinns cannot be seen, sweetheart.
- If you hear them, tell me.
- Sure. Now come give me a kiss.
- And say Allah's name before you sleep.
- Okay.
This electricity problem.
Today, they said there's a smell
coming from the electrical box.
So, there's a burning smell.
They said they would call the company
so that they can come and fix its door.
You know the nails in the
So, the problem is
the electricity company?
Not your simple attitude towards life,
not a care in the world?
But life is simple, dear Mother.
Life is simple when you live alone,
with me, your mother.
But why should that child suffer?
Did someone complain to you?
Complaining is not the issue.
One day, she will complain.
But her mother,
if this situation continues,
will claim custody,
and I'll bring her the girl myself.
Hopefully she won't, dear Mother.
[mother] So, now you know.
Don't say I didn't warn you.
[somber music playing]
[somber music fades]
- [Sattam] Peace be upon you.
- [boy] And upon you too.
Is your father home?
- Will you call him for me?
- [boy] Mm.
- [man] Sattam?
- [Sattam] Hey.
[man] I know why you're here.
But I barely have enough
to last me for the month, brother.
[quirky music playing]
[door slams]
I'm just worried it might be a scam
and I'll end up losing my whole account.
- Oh, come on, Abu Mohamed. Trust me.
- Sattam.
- I said trust me.
- Trust you?
- Trust me.
- You sure?
- I'm sure.
- "Pay now"?
Done.
It went through.
May your parents be blessed with Paradise.
Thank you, Sattam.
- [excited chatter]
- [Sattam] "Don't worry about him."
- I said, "Listen!"
- [friend] Mm.
"I'll bring your money in an old shoe."
"You understand?
Not a new shoe, an old one."
"With my head held high."
"Don't go chasing me around every corner,
like you're Pablo Escobar."
"Or else, I will beat you up."
- Did you really say that to him?
- I swear to God, I said that.
And guess what?
I convinced him to take the 50,000.
Good job, man.
- Where are you going to get the money?
- What is it?
I'll sell that old piece of junk
that I have.
Just help me find
some sucker who will take it.
You got it. Your timing is perfect.
There's a guy here
who's been nagging me for that car.
- The Lebanese guy?
- Yes.
It's okay, man. Let him have it.
It has a chassis,
an engine, two doors, and a fender.
Even if it had no engine,
I'd sell it for you.
But you should know
that the guy barely has 40,000.
As long as he pays in cash
You got it, my friend. Here.
These are the keys to my car.
- Keep them with you.
- I don't know how I can ever repay you.
- Don't say that. I'll do anything for you.
- Thank you so much.
By tonight, or tomorrow morning, tops,
the money will be in your account.
Just a couple of days.
I'll rent a car,
and I'll give you back yours.
- Thanks, man.
- Take your time, my friend.
But, where will you get
the rest of the money from?
If I got this much, I can get the rest.
You're talking to Sattam Al-Suleiman.
Respect. I'll salute you
until you're out. There.
- [patrons cheer]
- If you don't mind.
[indistinct chatter]
Hey, Sattam. Hi. How are you? All good?
- I'm good. You? Long time no see.
- Good? Thanks be to Allah. I'm good.
[man] This is just 50%.
[Sattam chuckles] Okay. Okay.
What? Fifty thousand? Fifty thousand?!
Why do you need such a huge sum?
What do you plan to do
with this amount of money?
Are you buying a farm? A mansion? A plane?
- Tell me!
- No, Father. It's nothing special, I mean
Consider it an advance.
Or a salary. It it won't hurt you.
If you were a smart, sensible man,
you would've listened to my advice
from day one,
when I told you to come and work with me.
And then you would be rolling
in money by now.
So you want me to be your employee, sir,
to work as a laborer,
when my potential is greater
than you could imagine.
And what's wrong with this?!
What's wrong with labor?
We've all labored and suffered
and worked hard at jobs that are lower
than the level that we deserve.
But I can be greater
than you could imagine.
You told me
my potential is greater than I thought.
[Suleiman] You're still being stubborn.
And as long as you're stubborn,
you'll stay where you are.
I won't hire you, not even as a laborer.
- Get out. Figure it out for yourself.
- [knocking]
[Suleiman] Go ahead.
- [Sattam] Going.
- [Suleiman] Not you.
Hi, Sattam.
It's been a long time. Good to see you.
Thank you so much.
Just let him go. Don't talk to him.
Once he stops being stubborn,
he can come back.
- Let's see. What do you have?
- [assistant] Here.
[exciting music rises]
[father] Yes. [Laughs]
Now we're talking.
[laughs] Give him a loan.
[exciting music subsides]
Sattam?
- Hey. Nice to see you.
- What brings you here?
- I came to say hi to my father and you.
- [phone ringing]
After all this time,
you're just here to say hi?
Your phone is ringing.
You should answer it.
Man, you're so nosy.
It's none of your business
if I answer or not.
[call connects]
Hey, honey.
No, I didn't take too long to answer.
[man] So, what did she say?
When was I ever wrong?
It's a boy, of course.
That's really great news.
Hopefully, a speedy recovery.
What I thought was right.
My plans all worked out perfectly.
And what's more,
I'll have a Capricorn baby boy.
That means wealth.
Once you tell them,
you'll start getting treated differently.
You might even take over the company.
Are you following or not?
Do you even understand what I'm saying?
- Yes.
- Why is your face blank?
I wish you a speedy recovery.
[school bell rings]
- Bye.
- Bye, Maram
Bye!
[ominous music rises]
[Sattam coughs]
- Daddy, what's wrong?
- I was fixing the fuses, sweetie.
I hope it wasn't a tough day at school.
No, it wasn't.
How was your day?
[Maram] Good.
- [Sattam] Good?
- Yes.
[ominous music subsides]
[exhales]
[Sattam] Maram.
Yes?
Listen, my child. This is your mother,
and you are our wise daughter.
Our precious daughter,
who rules over our whole world,
and who has nothing to do
with what's between me and your mom.
Is that okay, darling?
Don't be long.
Come pick me up in ten minutes.
Why, my child?
Stay with them till the evening.
Have fun, enjoy your time.
Play with those little children
that are as cute as you are.
- Listen.
- What is it?
No matter what happens,
I will never live with anyone but you.
- Bye, Daddy.
- [door closes]
The whole house will change.
We're going to a whole new level.
- Right, but my father never neglects us.
- Really?
Yes, look at the house we live in.
And all that we have.
I'm talking to you.
Tell me, what's missing?
Honey, sweetie.
Do I really need to spoon-feed you this?
What do you mean?
This house is not yours.
It's your father's.
While Sattam, who doesn't work
as hard as you do,
or serve your father like you,
has a house in his name.
And you want to convince me
that if we have a child,
what will he inherit?
- Your innate intelligence, maybe?
- Okay, listen...
Also, tell me.
About the company,
how many times have I told you
to tell your father?
I swear, if this project happens
and we get the investors,
it will be a huge success.
Whenever I talk to him
about founding this company,
he would say, "You want to be
like your brother, Sattam,
who failed in all his projects?"
Listen, baby. Listen to me.
You're not like Sattam.
You're having a son.
This means that if you ask him
for anything, I swear, he won't say no.
He won't say no to you.
Speaking of Sattam,
you know he came to the company today?
- What? What did you say?
- What's wrong?
Why would he go?
This is not right. Something's up.
To say hi to his father.
Say hi to your father?
He wants to take everything from you.
- Why do you always exaggerate?
- I exaggerate?
When he throws us all out on the street
after he takes over,
tell me then how I exaggerate!
He just passed by to say hi.
Hiyam, come here.
- Hayyoum.
- I don't want to.
- Leave me alone.
- Hayyoum.
[door locks]
Hayyoum.
Peace be upon you.
- Peace and blessings be upon you.
- What's this?
There you go.
Time bombs for you.
What?!
Go ahead.
- Wow. A Switch.
- What do you think?
Thank you to the best Dad in the world.
- [Maram giggles]
- [Sattam] Mm!
What do you think?
It's a second fryer.
Right. This is one's not secondhand.
It's brand-new,
with a warranty in your name.
Not like your old,
dusty piece of junk in there.
With what money?
Uh, I lent a guy some money ten years ago,
and he gave it back.
It was a lot. This big.
Right, Sattam. Okay.
[Sattam] Maram. You like it?
I love it.
- [man 1] So, you founded a company?
- [man 2] Mm.
And what happened to it?
Um
Bankruptcy.
[man 2] Bankruptcy is written
all over his face.
It went bankrupt?
- Clearly, you're a hard worker.
- [Sattam] That's right.
And practical.
And it's clear that,
uh he won't last two months.
Too many injuries.
- [man 1] Sattam.
- Yes?
[man 1] 8,000 is good?
[quirky music playing]
[Sattam] It's more than enough.
More than enough.
But honestly, I have a small request,
if you don't mind. If you don't mind.
- [both] Go ahead.
- And you're generous, and I'm worthy.
Honestly, I need a seven-month advance,
if you don't mind.
I have financial obligations
that I need to settle.
- [man 1] Mm-hmm.
- Why not one year? One year would be nice.
- What do you think?
- Very nice.
- Mm-hmm.
- We'll give you one year.
No need, gentlemen.
My obligations are
only worth seven months, really.
- And like they say, we...
- [man 2] One.
1.25% of the company's shares.
How about that?
So you can settle your obligations
and relax.
- [man 1] What's ours is yours, really.
- [man 2] Nice.
What do you think?
- Well, gentlemen, I'm...
- Sattam, work is from 7:00 to 3:00.
Starting tomorrow,
you're on a three-month trial.
If that's okay, you're welcome.
And don't do like our Brazilian friend,
who worked for two days,
and the rest at the clinic.
[chuckles] Okay, Sattam. You may go.
- [knocking on door]
- [assistant] Good morning, Haji Suleiman.
[Suleiman] Good morning.
[assistant] This is today's shipment.
Good job.
Let's see.
Ah.
What a nice shipment,
and what exquisite material.
- This one came from Indonesia.
- Oh, Indonesia.
- Yes.
- Such a beautiful country, Indonesia.
Beautiful. Nice. Mm-hm.
Wow.
What's wrong? Are you okay?
Well, Haji Suleiman, if you don't mind,
I'd like to talk to you about something
I know is personal and a family matter.
Why don't you bring Sattam,
come back to work for you,
and have your sons around you?
And what is it to you?
I want to retire
and go to my family in Sudan.
And do you believe
that those dumb sons of mine
can really be depended on?
They are your sons.
They will inherit everything from you,
and you have to trust them.
See all this wealth
that I've worked hard for?
One month after I die,
they'll throw it all away.
[chuckles]
Are you worried about your money
even after you die, Haji?
[chuckles] What can I do?
This is life, Amjad.
Besides, seriously.
You know that you understand me
and I understand you.
And you're good at your job.
Is it really so easy
for you to just leave me like this?
Of course not.
We have spent a lifetime together.
But 30 years with you is enough, Haji.
Since my children need me more.
Well, I honestly
would love to let you go,
but even your end-of-service gratuity,
I don't have it right now, unfortunately.
It's just 280,000 riyals.
Oh, I know, Amjad. I know it's 280,000.
I really want you to travel
and enjoy your life with your children.
But, unfortunately, I need the cash.
And the cash that I have is scarce.
Do you want me to lose?
To lose my clients?
Haji, you're blessed.
[grunts]
For God's sake. Amjad.
I told you,
everything is going to be okay.
And rest assured.
Rest assured. You're good.
But just so you know, Haji.
With each passing month, the amount
you'll have to pay me grows bigger.
I know, I know.
I know. And that's
why I'm telling you not to worry.
Don't worry. You can go now.
Fine. Thank you, Haji.
You're welcome.
[funky music playing]
[duck quacks]
[hookah bubbling]
Brother, why are you so stressed out?
We're up here on the roof,
and we have our hookahs and everything.
I've never felt so depressed
and frustrated. I'm deeply sad.
I can't even look at you. I swear to God.
Well, brother,
why not just work for your father?
You know what my father is doing?
He wants me to start from scratch.
Start from scratch.
You know what "from scratch" means to him?
Unclogging sewage.
Scrubbing toilets, like this.
Just like this.
To him, that's "from scratch."
I want to start here,
at least, just above the middle.
I have no problem with that.
Oh, come on. Don't be so dramatic.
You've done it before.
I mean, we've all benefited
because of your ideas and projects.
Cheer up.
It's going to be okay, God willing.
You know what scares me?
I'm scared of losing my daughter.
Listen.
I have a really crazy idea.
Tell me.
Forget it.
- It won't work.
- Tell me. What's your idea?
It wouldn't work, unless, uh
[woman shrieks]
[funky, rhythmic music playing]
No, we can't.
- We can do it.
- I swear, we can't.
- Trust me.
- It won't work.
Man, come on.
That's one.
I'll take the second one
here on the neck. It's stronger.
[muffled] It's stronger?
- Show me.
- Here.
It's convincing, right?
I swear to God, my father would never pay
a dime for this ugly face.
Okay.
- Give me a third one.
- Right away.
To hell with you and your father.
I'm done with the two of you.
Goodbye, my friend.
[muffled] Come back.
Take this back.
Listen to me carefully,
and forget all about your useless plans
that are good for nothing.
The real plan is here in my head.
- Oh, really?
- Indeed.
It's all about skills.
- Need a team that's awake.
- Consider it done.
[Amjad] Where's your father?
- Sleeping.
- Sleeping? This late? That's unlike him.
- Have you called him?
- No answer.
[line ringing]
- Hello?
- Your father's been kidnapped.
Who's this?
I mean, we kidnapped him.
What? Who are you?
Bro, are you dumb?
- I said we've kidnapped him.
- Don't you touch my father.
I'll send a picture now,
and the rest of the details later.
- What's going on?
- Peace be upon you.
Don't even try to call the police.
I need to see my father
for a couple of minutes, Mr. Amjad.
[Amjad] What is it, son?
Son. Show me.
[funky music fades]
God Almighty.
["Theeb" by Moayad playing]
[hip-hop song ends]
[thug 1] Slow down.
Why are you in a hurry?
[man 2] Here, sir, uh Take this mat,
in case you want to pray or something.
To face the Qibla,
turn left, and then slightly to the right.
If you need anything,
anything at all, I'm at your service.
Also, sir, in case you need
to relieve yourself, use this.
I don't need to explain.
I want nothing from you.
Go away. Go away, you scumbag.
- [thug 2] Are you dumb?
- What did I do?
[man 2] The keffiyeh is on your shoulder.
[clicks tongue] Oh, I forgot!
It happens, you know?
[thug 2] He saw your face!
There. There.
What do you think about my haircut?
- [man 1] Turn it into a drama.
- It's cool, isn't it? It's wild.
Turn it into a drama.
Any drama. You're a drama queen.
[thug 2] Oh, so now it's my fault?
- [man 1] Enough.
- You know what?
If I wasn't tied up in here,
I would've known
how to deal with the two of you.
Let's go so he can calm down.
[thug 2] Let's go.
Or do you want to chitchat?
[man 1] That's what happens
when you kidnap people.
[Suleiman] Bastards!
[thug 1] Let's get out of here.
Is he going to yell at us every time?
[Suleiman] Damn. What a start to the day.
Damn. I have to fix it.
[man] Good morning, sir.
- [Suleiman] Hi. Good morning to you.
- Hi.
Ooh. No way. This is bad.
[Amjad] Oh, I just can't believe it.
Play it again, ma'am.
Give me a minute.
[indistinct shouting on recording]
Is this the north or the south camera?
I don't know. Wait.
Guys, I have bad news for you.
- What is it?
- This gang is dangerous.
- They look dangerous.
- How fast they did this is really scary.
No, no! These are young kids.
- This gang is not dangerous at all.
- You know nothing about gangs or anything.
It's obvious from their face covers,
and they're skinny.
- I know this type well.
- [brother] We need to notify the police.
What do you mean, notify the police?
Don't be an idiot!
[brother] What do we do?
Just slow down and stay calm.
This is my father.
Stay calm, guys.
You'll be responsible
for any mistake that you make.
Relax. Calm down.
You want to go pray, go ahead.
Just don't notify the police. Stay calm.
Didn't you just say we're responsible?
Fine. Leave it to us.
Negative energy is my game.
Just give me three minutes,
and I'll figure it all out for you.
I don't want to hear a single sound.
- [console chiming]
- [Suleiman] Take this.
[laughing] I swear to God,
you look hot. You know what?
[mimics sizzling] You're on fire, really.
No, no, seriously. You look great.
So, you couldn't find me
anything better than this outfit
that looks like your face?
This style is actually Abadi's, sir.
Besides, it looks like the '90s, sir.
It's casual and stuff.
What's your problem, man?
[laughing] You look cool, really.
- [thug] You're all good now.
- [Suleiman] Hey, listen.
Don't forget to take my thobe.
Wash it and iron it.
Dude, I'm not your servant.
I'm just being respectful of your age.
I said, shut up!
No one asked you to kidnap me.
Ugh! What an annoying guest.
Dear God! What am I? A servant, or what?
What am I supposed to write to him?
- [man] Write down what I say.
- Don't patronize.
- [friend] "Therefore"
- "Therefore"
- [friend] "we"
- "we"
- [friend] "demand of you"
- "demand of you"
- "a sum of"
- "a sum of"
[dramatically] "300,000 riyals."
[dramatically] "300,000 riyals."
Doesn't look like they'll pay.
- Did you write it down?
- Yeah.
- "And we"
- "And we"
- "will give you"
- "will give you"
- "A deadline of"
- "a deadline of"
"48 hours."
[Abadi] "28 hours."
You moron! He said 40.
- Forty-eight hours.
- That's what I wrote.
- Just go on, please. Just go on.
- Should I write it down for you?
- [man] "Or else"
- "Or else"
- [friend] "we will"
- "we will"
[man] "kill Suleiman."
- "Slay Suleiman." This is the right word.
- No, guys.
Guys, are you kidding?
What do you mean, "slay"?
Wait a minute, please.
We're not criminals, guys.
Wait, wait, don't send. No, wait.
Sent.
- Uh, man, are you kidding? Two crimes...
- Good job, good job, good job.
[sighs]
[cell phone chimes]
[cell phone beeps]
"Three million?" Three million? What?
[sighs]
What did you say?
For real?
- That's right.
- [Amjad] What is it?
They're asking for three million, unc.
What makes them think
that we have three million?
I told you, we need to call the police.
Your father has three million?
I never sensed
the energy of one million in the house.
Mom, what do you think?
Guys, I think this is perfectly normal.
It's an extremely professional gang.
That's what I said.
I said it's a dangerous gang.
They'll kill him anyway.
I mean he uh, no.
I don't mean they'll kill him anyway.
I mean that
He saw their faces,
and they're expecting us
to call the police.
And, uh you know what I mean?
Uh, I mean, he saw their faces for sure.
And he wants us to call the police...
[brother] Will you shut up?
- [Hiyam] Just hear me out. I
- [sounds fade]
[distant drums playing]
[phone buzzing]
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, brother.
- Hey, Sattam. How are you doing?
- Speed up the rhythm a little bit.
What the hell is all that pot-clunking
around you, damn it?
- Did you ask for three million?
- Are you kidding?
- Are you this shameless?
- Hey, dude.
- What number did you write in the message?
- Just like you told me, 300.
- [friend] Show it to me.
- [Abadi] Are you calling me a liar?
There.
Uh
3,000,000 RIYALS
Oh my God. I can't believe it. [Sighs]
Guys. This place could get infested
with rats.
- He has no toilet.
- There are six zeros here, you moron.
- [Sattam] Hey, call them back tonight.
- One
Tell them, "We're making discounts,
and we're ready to negotiate with you."
It's my fault for counting on you guys.
You're all off today. Go home now.
Don't come back to work
until we notify you.
You can leave.
[interpreting in Hindi]
SULEIMAN FABRICS AND CARPETS
Do you think this place
is worth good money?
Can it make three million?
How do I know?
"How do I know?"
You're the boss's right hand.
I'm neither his right hand
nor his left one.
I'm making ends meet.
Okay, Mr. Making Ends Meet,
if we sell this place,
will we get that price?
Well
The land in itself can get three million,
and the fabrics here
are of excellent quality.
[funky music playing]
The land three million
A MAN IS JUDGED ONLY
BY THE SIZE OF HIS POCKE[funky music stops abruptly]
[tense music rises]
Mr. Amjad.
I need the secret code
to the safe right now.
Listen, son.
I never even knew there was a safe
inside here, let alone the secret code.
Thirty years working with the man,
and you don't know the code?
I swear I don't.
Hey, what's your dad's date of birth?
I don't think he used it.
He probably used mine.
Definitely not yours.
He's not that stupid.
- I have an idea.
- What is it?
- "A man"
- [Hiyam and Amjad chatting]
"is only judged by
the size of his pocket."
[intriguing music playing]
[Sattam] "A man
Is only judged
by the size of his pocket."
- 6634.
- [safe beeps]
[Hiyam and Amjad] What?
[safe lock beeps]
What's this?
"Mashaallah, Allahu Akbar."
What a waste. What a waste it would be
to give them all this.
This money's my father's?
Yes, son. It is his.
- Is it real?
- It's right in front of you.
[intense music playing]
[munches playfully, grunts]
- What do we do?
- Call the police.
[clicks tongue] "Call the police".
No, no, don't call the police.
No, no, son. Don't call the police.
The first thing they'll ask about
is where this money came from.
I work with your father,
and for 30 years, he's never paid taxes.
He's never made a transfer.
He only deals in cash.
Don't call the police.
For our own good,
and for your father's good.
What do we do, then?
[Sattam] Insist on the 3 million,
for God's sake.
Don't compromise on a single dime.
Please don't.
- I beg you, guys. Please.
- [phone chimes]
Insist on the 3 million, for God's sake.
Don't compromise on a single dime.
Please don't. I beg you, guys.
Guys. Hey, guys!
- They agreed to the three million.
- What are you saying?
They agreed. He just sent me a message.
- Are you serious?
- Yes, I swear.
- Are you for real?
- Do you think I'm lying?
- Swear.
- I swear to God.
[exclaims, laughs]
Yeah, man. Three million!
- Three million. Three million.
- We'll split it in half.
[thug] I can't believe it. One million?
I'll buy a new car.
- [friend] Three million!
- [thug] A new car. A new car.
- A new car.
- [Abadi] I can't believe it.
- [friend] Three million, not one.
- [thug] We should get a bigger cut.
- You feel that?
- Yeah.
- Give it to him.
- Three million.
And we get the bigger cut.
All that, thanks to the two biggest losers
on the planet.
- [excited chatter]
- [friend] Good job, guys.
[thug] Let's just hope it works out.
[Sattam] My father is dear to us, and he
must come back to us, safe and sound.
I think we should give them all the money.
Just hand it to them.
Money comes and goes.
No. Money doesn't come and go.
You're the one we don't give a damn about.
And since when do you care
about your father?
- Where have you been all this time?
- He's my father.
So what? I'll say it loud and clear.
This money here belongs to us.
- She's right.
- [Hiyam] Mm-hmm.
[tense music playing]
So, if you do get this money,
what will you do with it?
- I swear to God
- Yeah?
- I'll have a sideburns transplant.
- Fill the gaps.
[both laugh]
First thing I'll do
is I'll open this padlock on your face.
I don't have the energy
for all this anymore, man.
- Okay, okay, okay. Shut up. Enough.
- [indistinct chatter]
[friend] Let's go.
- [Sattam] Who's this?
- My friends. Don't worry about them.
They're with me. Don't worry.
I'm not worried. I'm not.
Okay. Here we go, then.
We will stick to the deal and to our pact.
But there is one thing on my mind
that I'd like to know.
I don't know what you'll do
with the 100,000.
Like, will you travel, leave the country,
buy yourselves a Range
Or a decent guesthouse
Or get a big apartment, maybe?
I really don't know what you guys
Can you answer me this question?
"Can you answer me"... Man, tranquilo, man.
You really talk too much.
You take your 200,000.
The rest is none of your business.
We'll take care of it.
- What?
- [friend] You don't understand?
- [Sattam] No, I don't.
- Give us a damn break.
That was the deal
when it was 300,000, my friend.
The situation has changed now.
[Sattam] So what's changed, exactly?
This is my father's money.
[tense music playing]
Listen, you lot...
I'm not bargaining here.
Clearly, you don't know the difference
between fairness and equality.
- [Sattam] What's fairness?
- Splitting the money based on the amount.
It's not up to you.
You didn't know the amount.
Listen, you lot. You take 100,000,
and you go your own way
through the avenue there.
Go your own way through there.
I am the one who wrote 3 million
for your father.
If not for me,
no one would know he had money.
- [thug] You're right.
- Who's this fat guy?
Don't call him a fat guy.
That's my friend.
Stay where you are. I'll deal with him.
- Hey. What's going on? That's enough, man.
- Come here.
Please leave him alone.
I told you, enough. Stop.
- Did you get this car for a good price?
- [Sattam] Yeah.
[friend] But it has a good fender.
Is this its original paint?
- [Sattam] Yeah, from the factory.
- Yeah. From the factory.
- And also, the water pump has issues.
- Get in. Let's go.
- Enough. Calm down.
- You'll get us caught.
This moron tried to attack him.
- [Abadi] He called me names.
- Listen, you fat guy.
I bet that you've never seen
a million in your life.
Do you hear me?
The most you've ever seen
is 500 riyals, with that face.
Guys, let's calm down
and stick to the issue at hand.
Calm down, guys.
[Sattam] Look, guys. Let's calm down
and relax, and everything will be okay.
- But I have a tiny favor to ask.
- [friend] Sure.
I need you to call my dumb brother
and tell him that you are a dreadful gang.
I want you to scare him.
I want him to hear the sound of knives
in the background
while you're talking to him.
[friend] Don't worry about your brother.
I'll take care of everything.
No way. What do you mean,
a couple of days, man?
No, no. Let's just hand him over
and get it over with.
Anyway, I'll go now,
and may God be with you.
This is nonsense. Let's go.
[guys speaking indistinctly]
[call to prayer echoing]
- [in Arabic] There's no God but Allah.
- There's no God but Allah.
- [in English] Closer.
- Yeah.
- [sighs]
- How about I get Suleiman to pray with us?
For the Jama'a reward.
Are you serious?
If you untie him, bro,
he'll definitely run away,
It's not okay, brother.
Even though this is a prayer.
[lively music playing on speakers]
You have good taste, suddenly.
What's this nice restaurant?
Do you have my money or not, kiddo?
Yes, I have it.
But it's a little short. Forgive me.
You've always been cheap.
You'll get all your money
within a few days.
All of it. Don't force me to say, "In a... "
"In a shoe." But you'll get it all.
[tense music rises]
I won't keep you any longer.
[knife clatters]
Excuse me.
It looks like he's deaf.
Come on, buddy. Come on.
What's wrong there?
What the hell? Come on.
Let's go, let's go. This is crazy.
- It's okay, buddy. It's okay.
- [tense music fades]
- [singing bowl chimes]
- [exhales]
- [brother] What are you thinking of?
- I'm imagining our new furniture.
Now, Hiyam?
You have to think
what to get and what not to get
since you're going to have a lot of money.
- What money? My father is kidnapped.
- Jupiter is in the first house.
What does it mean?
It means I feel the energy
of wealth in the house.
- We're going to be filthy rich.
- Your filthy energy is jinxing us.
The only thing that's jinxing us
is your stupidity.
Stupid energy filling the house.
[sighs]
[salesman] This is
the latest model we have.
[indistinct chatter]
Hey.
These are just starters, buddy.
Come, I'll show you
the one that says, "Stop."
"I'm the top. Mother of sports cars."
Leave me alone.
Even here, you want to bother me?
- Come with me and quit yapping.
- You and your haircut. Move on.
C'mon, shut up. I'll get sideburns.
- Come here. Look, look.
- You only want sports cars.
[wolf-whistles]
Come, look. Just look how elegant she is.
I'm telling you, this one is like
a five-star hotel, boy.
Sauna, massage, pampering.
Hey, you know
This one, when it rolls on the street
[imitates engine revving]
- Cut it out. Shut up.
- Right away. It's crazy.
I've watched three videos about it.
I'm telling you, it's awesome.
Yeah. Trust me, I'm telling you, man.
- Oh. Ah.
- [woman] Mm.
Good morning. Uh Such a beauty.
The car, it's a beauty.
So, how much is this baby?
[woman] The price tag is there.
Uh please, do you allow a
a allow this test, uh, drive?
- That test thing.
- I don't think that's available today.
Please, no touching, if you don't mind.
[mouthing silently]
Uh, if it's not available
a tested drive, it's okay.
- We'll buy it. You can ask. We'll buy it.
- Cash.
- Okay, let me check for you.
- Thank you.
[mouthing]
- That's high class.
- You're embarrassing us.
Don't stare at us like that,
or I'll punch you.
- I'm dying to prank that guy.
- What's wrong?
[thug] I'll punch him.
- [thug] Release the handbrake, moron.
- Wait.
We know nothing about these cars.
What we have is a soap bar.
Your uncle's soap bar.
The handbrake is right here, guys.
Come on.
- Ah. [Laughs]
- Oh.
We know.
If you don't mind telling us,
where do you shift gears?
- [engine turns over]
- The gear shifter's up here.
- Bro! [Laughs]
- [thug] Whoo!
[exhales slowly] Ooh. Ooh.
Bro, I feel like I've done everything
in the world.
This is what having money feels like, man.
Oh, you're so right.
Listen. Uh, no more World Cup.
I'm cancelling.
Instead, I'll get married.
Find myself a hot chick.
Are you serious?
Married with illicit money?
I'll show you
what you do with illicit money.
- [engine revs]
- [laughs]
[tires squeal]
[intense music playing]
- [music fades]
- [cell phone vibrating]
- What?
- [friend] Is your money ready?
Before I answer that,
if we don't give you the money,
what will you do with him?
It's simple. We'll kill Suleiman.
And if we give you the money,
you'll do the same. You'll kill him.
We won't gain anything.
Listen carefully, all of you.
You have 24 hours.
I swear, if you don't come
and bring the money with you,
you'll be having
an absentee funeral for Suleiman.
Oof. So, you won't even give us
his body to bury him?
Give it to me. Listen, you animal!
I swear, if something happens
to my father, you'll be sorry.
[Sattam] You call this a threat,
you lame idiot? Give it to me!
Listen here, you morons.
If you even touch my father,
I swear I'll rip out your guts,
one by one.
You say 24 hours. Don't you know who I am?
I suggest that you go easy on yourself.
I only need six hours
to come over to you and finish you!
[clears throat]
Guys, we give them what they want.
Nothing can happen to him.
I suggest we give them
all the money, guys, really.
Really. We should give it all to them.
If Suleiman finds out that you gave them
the money, he'll kill himself.
He will kill himself, right?
So, he's going to die anyway,
whether we give them or...
We shouldn't give them the money.
He'll die anyway.
My father must be released.
They'll kill him if we give it to them.
And if he's released, he'll kill himself.
He'll die anyway. Excuse me.
The money will be safe with me.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, DAD
[door opens]
[Sattam] You want a question?
But children your age
are told stories, not questions.
Your questions are easy.
They make me sleepy.
Okay. I'll challenge you, then.
I challenge you to answer my question,
sleepyhead.
Okay, ask.
What's the traveling distance
of lightning in miles,
if its speed is 15 seconds?
How do you know?
If the interval between hearing thunder
and seeing lightning
is 15 seconds, then if you divide 15 by 5,
you get 3.
[kisses]
[gentle music playing]
We're done with the scan,
Hiyam, and as I said,
with God's blessings,
you're having a girl.
She'll be beautiful
She'll have your hair,
and she'll have your eyes
and your pretty face.
- Hiyam, can you hear me? Hiyam.
- [music fades]
I thank Allah for his blessings.
Pour me some tea, eh?
I'll smack you
with these prayer beads, you snob.
He had some tamis,
and now he thinks I'm a waiter.
- Pour it yourself.
- [chuckles]
Hey, Goatee. You pour me some tea, then.
Betting big, are we?
- Always.
- Okay.
Hey, man, how are you? A driver?
Okay, just a minute. I'm coming.
Oh, and, uh, get me a tea boy.
We have a snob here who wants tea.
- Snob?
- Send him a tea boy.
Okay. Okay, guys, uh
- See this?
- What?
They say there's a saying
that goes, "Time is money."
"Time is money."
Excuse me, guys. Thank you.
I swear to God, you guys are embarrassing.
- [chuckles]
- Upstarts.
[intense music playing]
[sighs]
Mm-hmm Hmm.
Are you going with them?
You're getting on my nerves,
coming and going.
What's with you?
You're giving me a headache.
Man, the situation's getting serious.
I can't wait to hand over that idiot.
[Suleiman] You're the bugger!
You and that fat boy!
I've had enough of him.
- Chill, man. Where are you going?
- Don't touch me.
- I'll tie you up and let him go.
- [clicks tongue]
- How to hand over hostages?
- [cell phone chimes]
[male voice] After negotiating
and determining the...
- No, I want a woman's voice.
- Yeah.
[female voice] Agreeing
on the conditions of the exchange.
Who is going to be exchanged.
Conditions, place, and time.
A neutral third party
should act as a mediator.
Make sure to wear a disguise.
Show up with a scary appearance.
Arm yourself for protection.
Trust in God.
- [cat meows]
- [in Arabic] God is great.
[praying quietly]
[cat meows]
Peace be upon you.
Peace be upon you.
O Allah, my Lord, please.
Save me from this hardship that I'm in.
Shh! Psst! Psst!
[cat meows]
- [sighs]
- [nearby clattering]
What? What was that, sir? What happened?
[chuckles nervously] Nothing.
Nothing. Everything's fine.
It's just a cat.
It came from up there
and fell on the table
and knocked down a plate and broke it.
That's all. It's really nothing.
Oh. Don't worry, sir.
Let me clean up those pieces.
- Hey, uh, listen.
- Hmm? What?
Do you really think
that your friends are going to come back
and take me home, huh?
You see, I, uh
[clicks tongue] Since I saw you,
I thought you were someone
who was completely different
from your friends.
- Huh?
- Mm-hmm.
[clicks tongue] Say, do you lift weights?
- Yeah. Yeah, sir.
- Excellent.
That's very good.
Because you're going
to carry this whole thing alone.
You know where your friends are right now?
At the airport.
They packed their belongings.
They're going
[imitates jet engine]
to Thailand.
[intense music playing]
[Suleiman] Of course you know Thailand,
with all of its green,
beautiful landscapes.
They'll be eating
and sunbathing on the beach,
while you, poor boy,
you'll be sleeping in ward seven.
Listen, I'm a firm believer that
that any crime must have a scapegoat.
And you will be the scapegoat.
[Abadi sighs]
- [intense music fades]
- [vehicle approaching]
[car doors open]
[suspenseful music playing]
[friend] Do you have the dollars?
We never agreed to any dollars.
Wait. Riyals.
[friend] You shut up,
or I'll smack your face.
Where's Suleiman?
The deal was, you hand us the money,
then you'll find Suleiman
waiting for you at your doorstep.
Okay, then. Let him go home,
and we will give you the money.
- We won't go anywhere.
- Wait a minute. Take it easy.
[thug] Give us the money,
or I'll shoot your face off right here.
Give them the money. Please, I beg you.
Just give them the money.
I want my father back.
[friend] So, my friend, are you going
to give us the money or what?
Let me see Suleiman,
even if it's a picture.
[friend] I am not here to play games.
I swear to God Almighty,
if I start my car and leave
without the money,
I swear, you'll never see Suleiman,
in real life, nor in a picture.
- Put it down.
- Put down the briefcase.
Give it to them, please.
Things are getting out of hand.
- We want our father back.
- [friend] Put it down.
Come on, now step back.
- [thug] Back off.
- [friend] Come on, all the way back.
Move away, you stubborn man.
[friend and thug] Watch out.
Watch out. Watch out.
- [Amjad] Watch out, young man.
- [friend] Good.
Don't move.
Stay right there, stubborn man.
- [Amjad] "Stubborn"?
- And you.
- Stay close to him. Hands up.
- [thug] Back off.
- That's it, yeah.
- [friend] Stay where you are, my friend.
- [inhales sharply] Easy, my friend, easy.
- I'll turn now. Nobody move.
[friend] Easy, my friend.
Don't move!
[thug] Faster, faster, faster. Let's go.
- [friend] Don't move!
- [thug] Don't move, both of you! Back off.
Thank God. We did it.
- Let's calm down and go home.
- [Amjad] Go, go.
Mr. Amjad, let me tell you.
Thank God my brother joined.
Thanks be to our generous Lord.
Otherwise, they would have taken
my intestines
and my kidneys and would've been
playing chess with them right now.
They would take it and move it.
Then pull out my intestines and do this
Then they would put it back.
- They were scared of him.
- [chuckles]
He was right there in the car on standby.
With the car in first gear, watching us.
If there was any funny business
Any funny business from those scumbags,
and he would have run them over
just like that. You know?
- God, bring back my father.
- Amen.
There he is!
[Sattam] See? I told you
they were a professional gang.
[Amjad] Is that your father?
[brother] Yes, that's my father!
- [cat meows]
- [line ringing]
Man, I knew it.
I swear to God I knew it. I swear.
I knew this would happen. I knew it.
Stop it, you're giving me a headache.
Shut up.
- Hello?
- Shut up, now. I swear I knew it.
So, how's Thailand? Is it nice?
Thailand? What are you talking about,
you stupid moron?
Where's the old man?
Where did you take him?
- He's tied up right where you left him.
- He's not here. He ran away.
He's not here.
- Give me the phone. Give it to me.
- Here.
You're an idiot, idiot!
Did you really think we would trick you?
You know what, you idiot?
They gave us blank paper, you jackass.
Give me the phone. Give it to me.
Come on. Let's get out of here.
Let's go
before he reports us to the police.
Pick that up. Let's go.
I should never have made
any plans with you.
It's my fault for thinking
that you knew what you were doing.
This is bullshit!
Then I grabbed the last one.
I grabbed him by the neck,
and I choked him.
He had a knife to overpower me.
[laughs defiantly]
He pulled, and I pulled.
He pulled, and I pulled.
But, I mean, honestly
[clicks tongue] I'm confused.
How were you able to convince them
that you would give them 3 million?
Those fools believed it.
They fell for it.
I heard them with my own ears.
You know who they are? You saw them?
Yeah, buddy. They are
You know Abu Fahad's workers?
They had the same smell of imported spices
that always comes out of them.
- Ironically, Abu Fahad is accusing me.
- [brother] Really?
He's accusing me of stealing
100,000 riyals worth of merchandise
from him.
Uncle, how many were they?
Well, my child,
with all the commotion and noise
- I'd say there were five.
- [Hiyam] Mm.
- Yeah, five.
- [Hiyam] Mm-hmm.
But after I got rid of them
I ran to the street.
Kept running and running!
And I was certain
I knew that none of you
would come looking for me
because you knew that Suleiman
could break free and save himself.
[chuckles]
Why are you all quiet?
[Hiyam sighs]
[Amjad sighs]
[Hiyam] I'll talk.
I won't keep my mouth shut any longer.
I swear, I advised them. I warned them,
and I told them not to give them anything.
Shut up.
Not to give them anything?
- Give them what?
- [Hiyam] The money.
- Money?
- [brother gulps]
[Suleiman] Huh?
Do you guys even have three million
to give to them?
- From the safe.
- [Suleiman] Safe?
Speak up! What safe?
Your safe, Father.
What matters is
that you're back in one piece.
- [tense music playing]
- [Suleiman] My safe?
My money?
- [brother, muffled] Are you happy now?
- [Hiyam] Yes. I was going to talk.
[Suleiman] My money. All my money is gone.
- [Hiyam and brother arguing]
- [Suleiman] My money
My fortune.
[Hiyam shouting]
[Suleiman] My safe.
[distortion fades]
[wind gusting]
- My money.
- [wind gusting]
My hard work.
- [gasps]
- [intense music playing]
My money! Where is it?! Where?!
My money!
My money! My money!
My money!
- [sobbing]
- [intense music fades]
[ringing doorbell]
[line ringing]
[error signal beeps]
[line ringing]
[suspenseful music playing]
I've been trying to find you
for two hours.
Shut your trap.
Where is the money, Sattam? Tell me.
- I ought to ask you that.
- [groans]
- [Abadi] Stop lying.
- [gasps]
[friend] There is only 2,000 riyals
in the briefcase!
I swear, I'm the one who came here
looking for the money.
I came to ask about the money.
[friend] I'm telling you,
the money we got is fake.
[pounds on dash]
- [friend] Go!
- Go where?
[friend] Shut up and go!
- [Sattam] Tell him to let go.
- Come on, let him go.
- [thug] Come on, move.
- Pretending you didn't know? Come on!
[tracker beeping]
[sighs deeply]
[Hiyam] I told you
all that their energy was negative
and that I knew how to deal with them,
but you wouldn't listen.
- Hiyam.
- [Sattam's mother] Suleiman! Suleiman!
That gang kidnapped Sattam.
What?!
They're enjoying this.
They're kidnapping one after the other.
If only I could find that gang
so that I could take back my money.
[Sattam's mother]
You only care about money?
Don't you care about your son?
You've always chased money!
You never allowed yourself
or your children to enjoy it.
Instead of proclaiming
the blessings of the Lord.
Well, Auntie, we have no blessings
to proclaim anymore.
Grandpa, here's my Switch.
Sell it, and bring back my dad.
No, my child.
I'll go there myself,
and I'll take back my money from them.
[Sattam's mother] Bring back your son.
Check your phone.
I sent you the location.
- [foreboding music playing]
- [wind whistling]
[thug] This is the warehouse
where I used to work.
- [friend] Come on, guys. Let's go.
- [labored breathing]
[foreboding music swells]
I need some air.
Yes, I need some air, please.
Yeah. Where are we?
- What's going on?
- Get down, you bastard.
What's happening?
Why did you throw me in the trunk?
You think you're in some American movie?
Uh, you're holding me hostage, you pricks?
- Just walk.
- [Sattam groans]
You sons of bitches.
- [Abadi] Move it.
- [Sattam] Ya'qub!
Focus. I'm your friend, buddy.
Your friend.
- Ya'qub, focus.
- Shut up. You're definitely not my friend.
- Where's the money?
- [Sattam] I came to you for the money.
Show it to me.
I'll give you all of it. Just let me go.
If I knew, I wouldn't have asked you.
It looks like you want me to bury you.
[tense music playing]
This is the gun that we painted together.
It's plastic.
Move a little, move.
Let me go!
Father, they held you hostage here?
[tense music swells]
I swear I knew it, I swear.
I told you, but you wouldn't believe me.
I told you, I had a feeling.
Are you going to shut up,
or should I tie you up too?
[thug] I told you that we're too clumsy
for this kind of thing. I told you.
[Ya'qub] Please, bro.
Why don't you just shut up?
[Suleiman] What?
You think this is a loose country?
Not governed by law?
That you could kidnap
whoever you want? Why?
You think I'm stupid, you and your kids?
You think you can fool me?
- Where's my money?
- Where's my father's money?
Your money is with your son, sir.
- What?
- Shut up, or I'll smash your teeth.
Yeah. And here's another surprise.
This whole plan was his idea.
He said, "Kidnap my father,
then demand a ransom,
and we'll share it together."
- You sold us out.
- Hey, hey, hey. Whoa, whoa, whoa.
Whoa. Hey.
You shameless piece of shit.
You plotted with those scumbags
against your own father?
You ingrate?!
No, I swear to God, Father.
I'm not ungrateful.
You kept pushing me away. I had no choice.
Every time I came,
you shut your door in my face.
But it's always open to that idiot.
I swear to God,
I'm drowning in so many problems,
and I'm in extreme danger.
What danger?
[laughs] "Danger," he says.
What danger, Mr. Danger?
It's just an electricity bill
and a water bill.
You're the one who doesn't want to work.
You don't want to earn your living,
you loser.
And he earns his living?
If we don't give you the money
What will you do?
- Cut his throat.
- We'll kill him.
- No, of course not. We're not killing him.
- Yes, we are.
[Suleiman] Hmm.
- So, kill him, then.
- [somber music playing]
[music grows suspenseful]
I wonder what brought you all together.
Didn't you guys know that every million
that circulates in Riyadh,
I know about it?
Hey, Samarmad.
What a bunch of morons, I swear to God.
You hear me, all of you?
Where's my money, kid?
[thug] Run!
[man grunts]
[breathing shakily]
[man] You think you can hide?
I'm gonna get you.
[Abu Ateq] Huh? Where's the money, kid?
And now
Well, this dumb idiot is still my son.
You're as dumb as your son.
[Suleiman] What did you just say?
[Abu Ateq] You think you'll scare me
with this rusty little gun?
Don't you point your gun at my father.
I'm warning you.
Your problem is with me.
Shut up. Where is the money?
Go ask the gang
that you just scared away for the money.
Where's the money?
Damn you. For ten years,
you wouldn't work with your father,
only to end up working with these thugs?
- Show respect, old man.
- [Sattam] This thug invested with me.
He was the one
who gave me 250,000. Imagine?
- He trusted me.
- Ha. And you lost it, you loser.
See? Did you hear what he said?
He called you a loser.
I'm not the only one
who thinks you're a loser.
The criminal himself
just called you a loser.
Oh, dear God. So, a person who claims
what's theirs is a criminal now?
Where's the money?
- Come on. Move.
- [sobbing] No. I don't want to die.
- Let's go. You idiot.
- [whimpers] We'll die.
Move. Hurry up. Let's go.
[Abadi grunts]
[Abadi groans]
[gun fires nearby]
[panting]
- [both grunting]
- [gunshot]
Damn
[Suleiman groaning]
[thug] Man, we're busted.
[Ya'qub] Come on. Come on. Come on.
- [thug] Go, go. Quick.
- Stop it, man. Please.
Stop it. I'm going as fast as I can.
Shut up!
[Ya'qub shouting indistinctly]
[shouts]
[thug] Abadi!
- [gun fires]
- [Abadi groans]
[thug] Run! We have to go!
[Abadi screaming]
Help me! I'm going to die! I'm dying!
- [Ya'qub] Abadi!
- [Abadi] Help. I'm gonna fall. Help!
Get off my father! Okay! That's enough!
Enough! That's enough! [Shouts]
[Abu Ateq groans]
[Sattam grunts]
- [strains]
- [groans]
[truck horn blares]
[suspenseful music dies down]
- [fire alarm blaring]
- [Abu Ateq groaning]
[both straining and coughing]
[men scream]
- [eerie music playing]
- [explosions blast in distance]
[quietly] Thank God. Thank God.
Forgive me, Father. Forgive me, please.
- Forgive me.
- [sighs]
I forgive you, son.
It's all okay, thank God.
[high-pitched ringing]
[distorted coughing, groaning]
[groans, coughs]
[strains, groans]
[coughs]
[coughing]
[dramatic music rises]
[engine revving]
[music cuts out]
What have you done?
[energetic remix
of Mozart's "Lacrimosa" playing]
[Sattam] Thank God.
Since God allowed us to stay alive, guys,
and we know that money
is just earthly scum,
I have this new idea
to compensate for all our losses.
[Abadi sobs]
Really.
- No, no, no. No. No more.
- For God's sake, enough.
[Ya'qub] Here we are again with no money.
[Abadi] Okay, but where's the money?
[energetic music fades]
[Amjad] It's been a wonderful 30 years
with you, Haji Suleiman.
[sighs]
[Amjad] But the time has come
to go back to my family.
You got back your money and your children.
With my regards.
[contented sigh]
[energetic remix of "Lacrimosa" continues]
[energetic music fades]
[woman] Girl.
What are you looking at?
[tapping]
[woman] In the Name of Allah.
In the Name of Allah.
[man] You're killing me.
I can't. I swear, I can't. I just can't.
I'm suffocating, I swear.
And while I was checking out
at the cashier, everybody was staring.
You didn't do the challenge correctly.
The deal was to film yourself
in the supermarket.
[daughter giggles]
These challenges
are never going to happen again.
- [laughs]
- How could you?
Embarrassing your father
in front of everyone?
How come? It's totally unacceptable.
- The challenge...
- No, I won't accept this.
- [daughter continues speaking]
- [tense music playing]
- Sweetie, I'll call you later. Bye.
- No, don't hang up.
No. It's just a couple of minutes.
- Stay with me.
- I won't be long. I won't.
- Hello?
- [call disconnects]
[tense music swells]
[tires squeal]
[SUV engine revs]
[engine splutters]
[truck horn blares]
[SUV brakes screech]
[tense music dies down]
[tense music fades out]
[ringtone playing]
[sighs]
[phone chimes]
- [daughter] What's wrong?
- Nothing. I'm fine.
- You weren't answering.
- [father] Okay. I'm home, sweetheart.
Give me a couple of minutes,
and I'll be there.
- No. Stay with me.
- I'll be right there.
- [call disconnects]
- [tense music resumes]
[SUV tires squeal]
[tense music swells]
[brakes screech]
[tense music cuts out]
[car door opens]
[gasps]
Abu Ateq? What was all that about?
I swear I thought it was
that wicked thief that lives here.
When you borrow money
from Abu Ateq and, uh you don't pay up,
what happens to you?
Guys, you're really making
a big deal out of nothing.
Besides, what are you worried about?
Who said Abu Ateq gets worried?
- I never worry, Sattam.
- I know you never worry.
But I swear to you, guys,
business means loss as well as gain.
I never lose, Sattam.
I'm a man you owe money to.
And, Sattam,
if you don't pay me back willingly,
I can take it by force.
Ten days from now,
I want my money to be ready.
Just take it easy, please.
Give me just one month.
- And I'll give you 50,000...
- Why would I want 50?
I want it all back, 250. Okay?
Wait. Ten days won't be enough for me.
I swear.
- Okay. With 50,000...
- No one told you to mortgage your house.
- I can get you the rest of the... Wait!
- [man] Get out of the car. Get out!
[mellow music playing]
[siren wailing in distance]
THE FAKENAPPING
[indistinct chatter on TV]
[door creaks open]
- Hi. Hi. Hi.
- Why did you take off the mask?
Let's go to the supermarket
so I can see you wearing it.
Let's do it tomorrow because I'm
really exhausted from work, sweetheart.
I can't now.
What a beautiful artistic drawing.
You're a real artist.
You should paint the entire neighborhood.
Why are your clothes
all dirty and messed up?
Did you walk home?
No, I didn't walk home.
Let's just focus
on your beautiful drawing.
You should paint the entire neighborhood.
Let's decorate the house with flowers.
[in Arabic] My whole life
Is about patience and endurance
While others
Are leading the happy life
- [in English] Hello, Your Highness.
- An hour to fetch some coriander?
What is that thing?
- This?
- Uh, yes.
- It's a fryer.
- I know. Where'd you get it from?
From my sister.
But you're the eldest in the family.
How could you take something
from your sister?
My sister and I are one.
- Your plate, dear?
- Just a little.
Here.
- [loud click]
- [electricity whirs]
[daughter] Now the jinns will come.
[mother] I seek refuge in Allah from them.
[Sattam] It's the electricity again.
That's the second time this month.
They did tell me.
They pushed an envelope under the door
saying they'll shut it down today.
It's just that it's happened twice.
Even the neighbors said the same thing.
Grandma, put on the candles.
I want to listen to the jinns.
[mother] You have school tomorrow.
Eat your food and go to bed.
We're all going to bed.
- Daddy, if you see the jinns, tell me.
- Yes, sweetie?
But jinns cannot be seen, sweetheart.
- If you hear them, tell me.
- Sure. Now come give me a kiss.
- And say Allah's name before you sleep.
- Okay.
This electricity problem.
Today, they said there's a smell
coming from the electrical box.
So, there's a burning smell.
They said they would call the company
so that they can come and fix its door.
You know the nails in the
So, the problem is
the electricity company?
Not your simple attitude towards life,
not a care in the world?
But life is simple, dear Mother.
Life is simple when you live alone,
with me, your mother.
But why should that child suffer?
Did someone complain to you?
Complaining is not the issue.
One day, she will complain.
But her mother,
if this situation continues,
will claim custody,
and I'll bring her the girl myself.
Hopefully she won't, dear Mother.
[mother] So, now you know.
Don't say I didn't warn you.
[somber music playing]
[somber music fades]
- [Sattam] Peace be upon you.
- [boy] And upon you too.
Is your father home?
- Will you call him for me?
- [boy] Mm.
- [man] Sattam?
- [Sattam] Hey.
[man] I know why you're here.
But I barely have enough
to last me for the month, brother.
[quirky music playing]
[door slams]
I'm just worried it might be a scam
and I'll end up losing my whole account.
- Oh, come on, Abu Mohamed. Trust me.
- Sattam.
- I said trust me.
- Trust you?
- Trust me.
- You sure?
- I'm sure.
- "Pay now"?
Done.
It went through.
May your parents be blessed with Paradise.
Thank you, Sattam.
- [excited chatter]
- [Sattam] "Don't worry about him."
- I said, "Listen!"
- [friend] Mm.
"I'll bring your money in an old shoe."
"You understand?
Not a new shoe, an old one."
"With my head held high."
"Don't go chasing me around every corner,
like you're Pablo Escobar."
"Or else, I will beat you up."
- Did you really say that to him?
- I swear to God, I said that.
And guess what?
I convinced him to take the 50,000.
Good job, man.
- Where are you going to get the money?
- What is it?
I'll sell that old piece of junk
that I have.
Just help me find
some sucker who will take it.
You got it. Your timing is perfect.
There's a guy here
who's been nagging me for that car.
- The Lebanese guy?
- Yes.
It's okay, man. Let him have it.
It has a chassis,
an engine, two doors, and a fender.
Even if it had no engine,
I'd sell it for you.
But you should know
that the guy barely has 40,000.
As long as he pays in cash
You got it, my friend. Here.
These are the keys to my car.
- Keep them with you.
- I don't know how I can ever repay you.
- Don't say that. I'll do anything for you.
- Thank you so much.
By tonight, or tomorrow morning, tops,
the money will be in your account.
Just a couple of days.
I'll rent a car,
and I'll give you back yours.
- Thanks, man.
- Take your time, my friend.
But, where will you get
the rest of the money from?
If I got this much, I can get the rest.
You're talking to Sattam Al-Suleiman.
Respect. I'll salute you
until you're out. There.
- [patrons cheer]
- If you don't mind.
[indistinct chatter]
Hey, Sattam. Hi. How are you? All good?
- I'm good. You? Long time no see.
- Good? Thanks be to Allah. I'm good.
[man] This is just 50%.
[Sattam chuckles] Okay. Okay.
What? Fifty thousand? Fifty thousand?!
Why do you need such a huge sum?
What do you plan to do
with this amount of money?
Are you buying a farm? A mansion? A plane?
- Tell me!
- No, Father. It's nothing special, I mean
Consider it an advance.
Or a salary. It it won't hurt you.
If you were a smart, sensible man,
you would've listened to my advice
from day one,
when I told you to come and work with me.
And then you would be rolling
in money by now.
So you want me to be your employee, sir,
to work as a laborer,
when my potential is greater
than you could imagine.
And what's wrong with this?!
What's wrong with labor?
We've all labored and suffered
and worked hard at jobs that are lower
than the level that we deserve.
But I can be greater
than you could imagine.
You told me
my potential is greater than I thought.
[Suleiman] You're still being stubborn.
And as long as you're stubborn,
you'll stay where you are.
I won't hire you, not even as a laborer.
- Get out. Figure it out for yourself.
- [knocking]
[Suleiman] Go ahead.
- [Sattam] Going.
- [Suleiman] Not you.
Hi, Sattam.
It's been a long time. Good to see you.
Thank you so much.
Just let him go. Don't talk to him.
Once he stops being stubborn,
he can come back.
- Let's see. What do you have?
- [assistant] Here.
[exciting music rises]
[father] Yes. [Laughs]
Now we're talking.
[laughs] Give him a loan.
[exciting music subsides]
Sattam?
- Hey. Nice to see you.
- What brings you here?
- I came to say hi to my father and you.
- [phone ringing]
After all this time,
you're just here to say hi?
Your phone is ringing.
You should answer it.
Man, you're so nosy.
It's none of your business
if I answer or not.
[call connects]
Hey, honey.
No, I didn't take too long to answer.
[man] So, what did she say?
When was I ever wrong?
It's a boy, of course.
That's really great news.
Hopefully, a speedy recovery.
What I thought was right.
My plans all worked out perfectly.
And what's more,
I'll have a Capricorn baby boy.
That means wealth.
Once you tell them,
you'll start getting treated differently.
You might even take over the company.
Are you following or not?
Do you even understand what I'm saying?
- Yes.
- Why is your face blank?
I wish you a speedy recovery.
[school bell rings]
- Bye.
- Bye, Maram
Bye!
[ominous music rises]
[Sattam coughs]
- Daddy, what's wrong?
- I was fixing the fuses, sweetie.
I hope it wasn't a tough day at school.
No, it wasn't.
How was your day?
[Maram] Good.
- [Sattam] Good?
- Yes.
[ominous music subsides]
[exhales]
[Sattam] Maram.
Yes?
Listen, my child. This is your mother,
and you are our wise daughter.
Our precious daughter,
who rules over our whole world,
and who has nothing to do
with what's between me and your mom.
Is that okay, darling?
Don't be long.
Come pick me up in ten minutes.
Why, my child?
Stay with them till the evening.
Have fun, enjoy your time.
Play with those little children
that are as cute as you are.
- Listen.
- What is it?
No matter what happens,
I will never live with anyone but you.
- Bye, Daddy.
- [door closes]
The whole house will change.
We're going to a whole new level.
- Right, but my father never neglects us.
- Really?
Yes, look at the house we live in.
And all that we have.
I'm talking to you.
Tell me, what's missing?
Honey, sweetie.
Do I really need to spoon-feed you this?
What do you mean?
This house is not yours.
It's your father's.
While Sattam, who doesn't work
as hard as you do,
or serve your father like you,
has a house in his name.
And you want to convince me
that if we have a child,
what will he inherit?
- Your innate intelligence, maybe?
- Okay, listen...
Also, tell me.
About the company,
how many times have I told you
to tell your father?
I swear, if this project happens
and we get the investors,
it will be a huge success.
Whenever I talk to him
about founding this company,
he would say, "You want to be
like your brother, Sattam,
who failed in all his projects?"
Listen, baby. Listen to me.
You're not like Sattam.
You're having a son.
This means that if you ask him
for anything, I swear, he won't say no.
He won't say no to you.
Speaking of Sattam,
you know he came to the company today?
- What? What did you say?
- What's wrong?
Why would he go?
This is not right. Something's up.
To say hi to his father.
Say hi to your father?
He wants to take everything from you.
- Why do you always exaggerate?
- I exaggerate?
When he throws us all out on the street
after he takes over,
tell me then how I exaggerate!
He just passed by to say hi.
Hiyam, come here.
- Hayyoum.
- I don't want to.
- Leave me alone.
- Hayyoum.
[door locks]
Hayyoum.
Peace be upon you.
- Peace and blessings be upon you.
- What's this?
There you go.
Time bombs for you.
What?!
Go ahead.
- Wow. A Switch.
- What do you think?
Thank you to the best Dad in the world.
- [Maram giggles]
- [Sattam] Mm!
What do you think?
It's a second fryer.
Right. This is one's not secondhand.
It's brand-new,
with a warranty in your name.
Not like your old,
dusty piece of junk in there.
With what money?
Uh, I lent a guy some money ten years ago,
and he gave it back.
It was a lot. This big.
Right, Sattam. Okay.
[Sattam] Maram. You like it?
I love it.
- [man 1] So, you founded a company?
- [man 2] Mm.
And what happened to it?
Um
Bankruptcy.
[man 2] Bankruptcy is written
all over his face.
It went bankrupt?
- Clearly, you're a hard worker.
- [Sattam] That's right.
And practical.
And it's clear that,
uh he won't last two months.
Too many injuries.
- [man 1] Sattam.
- Yes?
[man 1] 8,000 is good?
[quirky music playing]
[Sattam] It's more than enough.
More than enough.
But honestly, I have a small request,
if you don't mind. If you don't mind.
- [both] Go ahead.
- And you're generous, and I'm worthy.
Honestly, I need a seven-month advance,
if you don't mind.
I have financial obligations
that I need to settle.
- [man 1] Mm-hmm.
- Why not one year? One year would be nice.
- What do you think?
- Very nice.
- Mm-hmm.
- We'll give you one year.
No need, gentlemen.
My obligations are
only worth seven months, really.
- And like they say, we...
- [man 2] One.
1.25% of the company's shares.
How about that?
So you can settle your obligations
and relax.
- [man 1] What's ours is yours, really.
- [man 2] Nice.
What do you think?
- Well, gentlemen, I'm...
- Sattam, work is from 7:00 to 3:00.
Starting tomorrow,
you're on a three-month trial.
If that's okay, you're welcome.
And don't do like our Brazilian friend,
who worked for two days,
and the rest at the clinic.
[chuckles] Okay, Sattam. You may go.
- [knocking on door]
- [assistant] Good morning, Haji Suleiman.
[Suleiman] Good morning.
[assistant] This is today's shipment.
Good job.
Let's see.
Ah.
What a nice shipment,
and what exquisite material.
- This one came from Indonesia.
- Oh, Indonesia.
- Yes.
- Such a beautiful country, Indonesia.
Beautiful. Nice. Mm-hm.
Wow.
What's wrong? Are you okay?
Well, Haji Suleiman, if you don't mind,
I'd like to talk to you about something
I know is personal and a family matter.
Why don't you bring Sattam,
come back to work for you,
and have your sons around you?
And what is it to you?
I want to retire
and go to my family in Sudan.
And do you believe
that those dumb sons of mine
can really be depended on?
They are your sons.
They will inherit everything from you,
and you have to trust them.
See all this wealth
that I've worked hard for?
One month after I die,
they'll throw it all away.
[chuckles]
Are you worried about your money
even after you die, Haji?
[chuckles] What can I do?
This is life, Amjad.
Besides, seriously.
You know that you understand me
and I understand you.
And you're good at your job.
Is it really so easy
for you to just leave me like this?
Of course not.
We have spent a lifetime together.
But 30 years with you is enough, Haji.
Since my children need me more.
Well, I honestly
would love to let you go,
but even your end-of-service gratuity,
I don't have it right now, unfortunately.
It's just 280,000 riyals.
Oh, I know, Amjad. I know it's 280,000.
I really want you to travel
and enjoy your life with your children.
But, unfortunately, I need the cash.
And the cash that I have is scarce.
Do you want me to lose?
To lose my clients?
Haji, you're blessed.
[grunts]
For God's sake. Amjad.
I told you,
everything is going to be okay.
And rest assured.
Rest assured. You're good.
But just so you know, Haji.
With each passing month, the amount
you'll have to pay me grows bigger.
I know, I know.
I know. And that's
why I'm telling you not to worry.
Don't worry. You can go now.
Fine. Thank you, Haji.
You're welcome.
[funky music playing]
[duck quacks]
[hookah bubbling]
Brother, why are you so stressed out?
We're up here on the roof,
and we have our hookahs and everything.
I've never felt so depressed
and frustrated. I'm deeply sad.
I can't even look at you. I swear to God.
Well, brother,
why not just work for your father?
You know what my father is doing?
He wants me to start from scratch.
Start from scratch.
You know what "from scratch" means to him?
Unclogging sewage.
Scrubbing toilets, like this.
Just like this.
To him, that's "from scratch."
I want to start here,
at least, just above the middle.
I have no problem with that.
Oh, come on. Don't be so dramatic.
You've done it before.
I mean, we've all benefited
because of your ideas and projects.
Cheer up.
It's going to be okay, God willing.
You know what scares me?
I'm scared of losing my daughter.
Listen.
I have a really crazy idea.
Tell me.
Forget it.
- It won't work.
- Tell me. What's your idea?
It wouldn't work, unless, uh
[woman shrieks]
[funky, rhythmic music playing]
No, we can't.
- We can do it.
- I swear, we can't.
- Trust me.
- It won't work.
Man, come on.
That's one.
I'll take the second one
here on the neck. It's stronger.
[muffled] It's stronger?
- Show me.
- Here.
It's convincing, right?
I swear to God, my father would never pay
a dime for this ugly face.
Okay.
- Give me a third one.
- Right away.
To hell with you and your father.
I'm done with the two of you.
Goodbye, my friend.
[muffled] Come back.
Take this back.
Listen to me carefully,
and forget all about your useless plans
that are good for nothing.
The real plan is here in my head.
- Oh, really?
- Indeed.
It's all about skills.
- Need a team that's awake.
- Consider it done.
[Amjad] Where's your father?
- Sleeping.
- Sleeping? This late? That's unlike him.
- Have you called him?
- No answer.
[line ringing]
- Hello?
- Your father's been kidnapped.
Who's this?
I mean, we kidnapped him.
What? Who are you?
Bro, are you dumb?
- I said we've kidnapped him.
- Don't you touch my father.
I'll send a picture now,
and the rest of the details later.
- What's going on?
- Peace be upon you.
Don't even try to call the police.
I need to see my father
for a couple of minutes, Mr. Amjad.
[Amjad] What is it, son?
Son. Show me.
[funky music fades]
God Almighty.
["Theeb" by Moayad playing]
[hip-hop song ends]
[thug 1] Slow down.
Why are you in a hurry?
[man 2] Here, sir, uh Take this mat,
in case you want to pray or something.
To face the Qibla,
turn left, and then slightly to the right.
If you need anything,
anything at all, I'm at your service.
Also, sir, in case you need
to relieve yourself, use this.
I don't need to explain.
I want nothing from you.
Go away. Go away, you scumbag.
- [thug 2] Are you dumb?
- What did I do?
[man 2] The keffiyeh is on your shoulder.
[clicks tongue] Oh, I forgot!
It happens, you know?
[thug 2] He saw your face!
There. There.
What do you think about my haircut?
- [man 1] Turn it into a drama.
- It's cool, isn't it? It's wild.
Turn it into a drama.
Any drama. You're a drama queen.
[thug 2] Oh, so now it's my fault?
- [man 1] Enough.
- You know what?
If I wasn't tied up in here,
I would've known
how to deal with the two of you.
Let's go so he can calm down.
[thug 2] Let's go.
Or do you want to chitchat?
[man 1] That's what happens
when you kidnap people.
[Suleiman] Bastards!
[thug 1] Let's get out of here.
Is he going to yell at us every time?
[Suleiman] Damn. What a start to the day.
Damn. I have to fix it.
[man] Good morning, sir.
- [Suleiman] Hi. Good morning to you.
- Hi.
Ooh. No way. This is bad.
[Amjad] Oh, I just can't believe it.
Play it again, ma'am.
Give me a minute.
[indistinct shouting on recording]
Is this the north or the south camera?
I don't know. Wait.
Guys, I have bad news for you.
- What is it?
- This gang is dangerous.
- They look dangerous.
- How fast they did this is really scary.
No, no! These are young kids.
- This gang is not dangerous at all.
- You know nothing about gangs or anything.
It's obvious from their face covers,
and they're skinny.
- I know this type well.
- [brother] We need to notify the police.
What do you mean, notify the police?
Don't be an idiot!
[brother] What do we do?
Just slow down and stay calm.
This is my father.
Stay calm, guys.
You'll be responsible
for any mistake that you make.
Relax. Calm down.
You want to go pray, go ahead.
Just don't notify the police. Stay calm.
Didn't you just say we're responsible?
Fine. Leave it to us.
Negative energy is my game.
Just give me three minutes,
and I'll figure it all out for you.
I don't want to hear a single sound.
- [console chiming]
- [Suleiman] Take this.
[laughing] I swear to God,
you look hot. You know what?
[mimics sizzling] You're on fire, really.
No, no, seriously. You look great.
So, you couldn't find me
anything better than this outfit
that looks like your face?
This style is actually Abadi's, sir.
Besides, it looks like the '90s, sir.
It's casual and stuff.
What's your problem, man?
[laughing] You look cool, really.
- [thug] You're all good now.
- [Suleiman] Hey, listen.
Don't forget to take my thobe.
Wash it and iron it.
Dude, I'm not your servant.
I'm just being respectful of your age.
I said, shut up!
No one asked you to kidnap me.
Ugh! What an annoying guest.
Dear God! What am I? A servant, or what?
What am I supposed to write to him?
- [man] Write down what I say.
- Don't patronize.
- [friend] "Therefore"
- "Therefore"
- [friend] "we"
- "we"
- [friend] "demand of you"
- "demand of you"
- "a sum of"
- "a sum of"
[dramatically] "300,000 riyals."
[dramatically] "300,000 riyals."
Doesn't look like they'll pay.
- Did you write it down?
- Yeah.
- "And we"
- "And we"
- "will give you"
- "will give you"
- "A deadline of"
- "a deadline of"
"48 hours."
[Abadi] "28 hours."
You moron! He said 40.
- Forty-eight hours.
- That's what I wrote.
- Just go on, please. Just go on.
- Should I write it down for you?
- [man] "Or else"
- "Or else"
- [friend] "we will"
- "we will"
[man] "kill Suleiman."
- "Slay Suleiman." This is the right word.
- No, guys.
Guys, are you kidding?
What do you mean, "slay"?
Wait a minute, please.
We're not criminals, guys.
Wait, wait, don't send. No, wait.
Sent.
- Uh, man, are you kidding? Two crimes...
- Good job, good job, good job.
[sighs]
[cell phone chimes]
[cell phone beeps]
"Three million?" Three million? What?
[sighs]
What did you say?
For real?
- That's right.
- [Amjad] What is it?
They're asking for three million, unc.
What makes them think
that we have three million?
I told you, we need to call the police.
Your father has three million?
I never sensed
the energy of one million in the house.
Mom, what do you think?
Guys, I think this is perfectly normal.
It's an extremely professional gang.
That's what I said.
I said it's a dangerous gang.
They'll kill him anyway.
I mean he uh, no.
I don't mean they'll kill him anyway.
I mean that
He saw their faces,
and they're expecting us
to call the police.
And, uh you know what I mean?
Uh, I mean, he saw their faces for sure.
And he wants us to call the police...
[brother] Will you shut up?
- [Hiyam] Just hear me out. I
- [sounds fade]
[distant drums playing]
[phone buzzing]
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, brother.
- Hey, Sattam. How are you doing?
- Speed up the rhythm a little bit.
What the hell is all that pot-clunking
around you, damn it?
- Did you ask for three million?
- Are you kidding?
- Are you this shameless?
- Hey, dude.
- What number did you write in the message?
- Just like you told me, 300.
- [friend] Show it to me.
- [Abadi] Are you calling me a liar?
There.
Uh
3,000,000 RIYALS
Oh my God. I can't believe it. [Sighs]
Guys. This place could get infested
with rats.
- He has no toilet.
- There are six zeros here, you moron.
- [Sattam] Hey, call them back tonight.
- One
Tell them, "We're making discounts,
and we're ready to negotiate with you."
It's my fault for counting on you guys.
You're all off today. Go home now.
Don't come back to work
until we notify you.
You can leave.
[interpreting in Hindi]
SULEIMAN FABRICS AND CARPETS
Do you think this place
is worth good money?
Can it make three million?
How do I know?
"How do I know?"
You're the boss's right hand.
I'm neither his right hand
nor his left one.
I'm making ends meet.
Okay, Mr. Making Ends Meet,
if we sell this place,
will we get that price?
Well
The land in itself can get three million,
and the fabrics here
are of excellent quality.
[funky music playing]
The land three million
A MAN IS JUDGED ONLY
BY THE SIZE OF HIS POCKE[funky music stops abruptly]
[tense music rises]
Mr. Amjad.
I need the secret code
to the safe right now.
Listen, son.
I never even knew there was a safe
inside here, let alone the secret code.
Thirty years working with the man,
and you don't know the code?
I swear I don't.
Hey, what's your dad's date of birth?
I don't think he used it.
He probably used mine.
Definitely not yours.
He's not that stupid.
- I have an idea.
- What is it?
- "A man"
- [Hiyam and Amjad chatting]
"is only judged by
the size of his pocket."
[intriguing music playing]
[Sattam] "A man
Is only judged
by the size of his pocket."
- 6634.
- [safe beeps]
[Hiyam and Amjad] What?
[safe lock beeps]
What's this?
"Mashaallah, Allahu Akbar."
What a waste. What a waste it would be
to give them all this.
This money's my father's?
Yes, son. It is his.
- Is it real?
- It's right in front of you.
[intense music playing]
[munches playfully, grunts]
- What do we do?
- Call the police.
[clicks tongue] "Call the police".
No, no, don't call the police.
No, no, son. Don't call the police.
The first thing they'll ask about
is where this money came from.
I work with your father,
and for 30 years, he's never paid taxes.
He's never made a transfer.
He only deals in cash.
Don't call the police.
For our own good,
and for your father's good.
What do we do, then?
[Sattam] Insist on the 3 million,
for God's sake.
Don't compromise on a single dime.
Please don't.
- I beg you, guys. Please.
- [phone chimes]
Insist on the 3 million, for God's sake.
Don't compromise on a single dime.
Please don't. I beg you, guys.
Guys. Hey, guys!
- They agreed to the three million.
- What are you saying?
They agreed. He just sent me a message.
- Are you serious?
- Yes, I swear.
- Are you for real?
- Do you think I'm lying?
- Swear.
- I swear to God.
[exclaims, laughs]
Yeah, man. Three million!
- Three million. Three million.
- We'll split it in half.
[thug] I can't believe it. One million?
I'll buy a new car.
- [friend] Three million!
- [thug] A new car. A new car.
- A new car.
- [Abadi] I can't believe it.
- [friend] Three million, not one.
- [thug] We should get a bigger cut.
- You feel that?
- Yeah.
- Give it to him.
- Three million.
And we get the bigger cut.
All that, thanks to the two biggest losers
on the planet.
- [excited chatter]
- [friend] Good job, guys.
[thug] Let's just hope it works out.
[Sattam] My father is dear to us, and he
must come back to us, safe and sound.
I think we should give them all the money.
Just hand it to them.
Money comes and goes.
No. Money doesn't come and go.
You're the one we don't give a damn about.
And since when do you care
about your father?
- Where have you been all this time?
- He's my father.
So what? I'll say it loud and clear.
This money here belongs to us.
- She's right.
- [Hiyam] Mm-hmm.
[tense music playing]
So, if you do get this money,
what will you do with it?
- I swear to God
- Yeah?
- I'll have a sideburns transplant.
- Fill the gaps.
[both laugh]
First thing I'll do
is I'll open this padlock on your face.
I don't have the energy
for all this anymore, man.
- Okay, okay, okay. Shut up. Enough.
- [indistinct chatter]
[friend] Let's go.
- [Sattam] Who's this?
- My friends. Don't worry about them.
They're with me. Don't worry.
I'm not worried. I'm not.
Okay. Here we go, then.
We will stick to the deal and to our pact.
But there is one thing on my mind
that I'd like to know.
I don't know what you'll do
with the 100,000.
Like, will you travel, leave the country,
buy yourselves a Range
Or a decent guesthouse
Or get a big apartment, maybe?
I really don't know what you guys
Can you answer me this question?
"Can you answer me"... Man, tranquilo, man.
You really talk too much.
You take your 200,000.
The rest is none of your business.
We'll take care of it.
- What?
- [friend] You don't understand?
- [Sattam] No, I don't.
- Give us a damn break.
That was the deal
when it was 300,000, my friend.
The situation has changed now.
[Sattam] So what's changed, exactly?
This is my father's money.
[tense music playing]
Listen, you lot...
I'm not bargaining here.
Clearly, you don't know the difference
between fairness and equality.
- [Sattam] What's fairness?
- Splitting the money based on the amount.
It's not up to you.
You didn't know the amount.
Listen, you lot. You take 100,000,
and you go your own way
through the avenue there.
Go your own way through there.
I am the one who wrote 3 million
for your father.
If not for me,
no one would know he had money.
- [thug] You're right.
- Who's this fat guy?
Don't call him a fat guy.
That's my friend.
Stay where you are. I'll deal with him.
- Hey. What's going on? That's enough, man.
- Come here.
Please leave him alone.
I told you, enough. Stop.
- Did you get this car for a good price?
- [Sattam] Yeah.
[friend] But it has a good fender.
Is this its original paint?
- [Sattam] Yeah, from the factory.
- Yeah. From the factory.
- And also, the water pump has issues.
- Get in. Let's go.
- Enough. Calm down.
- You'll get us caught.
This moron tried to attack him.
- [Abadi] He called me names.
- Listen, you fat guy.
I bet that you've never seen
a million in your life.
Do you hear me?
The most you've ever seen
is 500 riyals, with that face.
Guys, let's calm down
and stick to the issue at hand.
Calm down, guys.
[Sattam] Look, guys. Let's calm down
and relax, and everything will be okay.
- But I have a tiny favor to ask.
- [friend] Sure.
I need you to call my dumb brother
and tell him that you are a dreadful gang.
I want you to scare him.
I want him to hear the sound of knives
in the background
while you're talking to him.
[friend] Don't worry about your brother.
I'll take care of everything.
No way. What do you mean,
a couple of days, man?
No, no. Let's just hand him over
and get it over with.
Anyway, I'll go now,
and may God be with you.
This is nonsense. Let's go.
[guys speaking indistinctly]
[call to prayer echoing]
- [in Arabic] There's no God but Allah.
- There's no God but Allah.
- [in English] Closer.
- Yeah.
- [sighs]
- How about I get Suleiman to pray with us?
For the Jama'a reward.
Are you serious?
If you untie him, bro,
he'll definitely run away,
It's not okay, brother.
Even though this is a prayer.
[lively music playing on speakers]
You have good taste, suddenly.
What's this nice restaurant?
Do you have my money or not, kiddo?
Yes, I have it.
But it's a little short. Forgive me.
You've always been cheap.
You'll get all your money
within a few days.
All of it. Don't force me to say, "In a... "
"In a shoe." But you'll get it all.
[tense music rises]
I won't keep you any longer.
[knife clatters]
Excuse me.
It looks like he's deaf.
Come on, buddy. Come on.
What's wrong there?
What the hell? Come on.
Let's go, let's go. This is crazy.
- It's okay, buddy. It's okay.
- [tense music fades]
- [singing bowl chimes]
- [exhales]
- [brother] What are you thinking of?
- I'm imagining our new furniture.
Now, Hiyam?
You have to think
what to get and what not to get
since you're going to have a lot of money.
- What money? My father is kidnapped.
- Jupiter is in the first house.
What does it mean?
It means I feel the energy
of wealth in the house.
- We're going to be filthy rich.
- Your filthy energy is jinxing us.
The only thing that's jinxing us
is your stupidity.
Stupid energy filling the house.
[sighs]
[salesman] This is
the latest model we have.
[indistinct chatter]
Hey.
These are just starters, buddy.
Come, I'll show you
the one that says, "Stop."
"I'm the top. Mother of sports cars."
Leave me alone.
Even here, you want to bother me?
- Come with me and quit yapping.
- You and your haircut. Move on.
C'mon, shut up. I'll get sideburns.
- Come here. Look, look.
- You only want sports cars.
[wolf-whistles]
Come, look. Just look how elegant she is.
I'm telling you, this one is like
a five-star hotel, boy.
Sauna, massage, pampering.
Hey, you know
This one, when it rolls on the street
[imitates engine revving]
- Cut it out. Shut up.
- Right away. It's crazy.
I've watched three videos about it.
I'm telling you, it's awesome.
Yeah. Trust me, I'm telling you, man.
- Oh. Ah.
- [woman] Mm.
Good morning. Uh Such a beauty.
The car, it's a beauty.
So, how much is this baby?
[woman] The price tag is there.
Uh please, do you allow a
a allow this test, uh, drive?
- That test thing.
- I don't think that's available today.
Please, no touching, if you don't mind.
[mouthing silently]
Uh, if it's not available
a tested drive, it's okay.
- We'll buy it. You can ask. We'll buy it.
- Cash.
- Okay, let me check for you.
- Thank you.
[mouthing]
- That's high class.
- You're embarrassing us.
Don't stare at us like that,
or I'll punch you.
- I'm dying to prank that guy.
- What's wrong?
[thug] I'll punch him.
- [thug] Release the handbrake, moron.
- Wait.
We know nothing about these cars.
What we have is a soap bar.
Your uncle's soap bar.
The handbrake is right here, guys.
Come on.
- Ah. [Laughs]
- Oh.
We know.
If you don't mind telling us,
where do you shift gears?
- [engine turns over]
- The gear shifter's up here.
- Bro! [Laughs]
- [thug] Whoo!
[exhales slowly] Ooh. Ooh.
Bro, I feel like I've done everything
in the world.
This is what having money feels like, man.
Oh, you're so right.
Listen. Uh, no more World Cup.
I'm cancelling.
Instead, I'll get married.
Find myself a hot chick.
Are you serious?
Married with illicit money?
I'll show you
what you do with illicit money.
- [engine revs]
- [laughs]
[tires squeal]
[intense music playing]
- [music fades]
- [cell phone vibrating]
- What?
- [friend] Is your money ready?
Before I answer that,
if we don't give you the money,
what will you do with him?
It's simple. We'll kill Suleiman.
And if we give you the money,
you'll do the same. You'll kill him.
We won't gain anything.
Listen carefully, all of you.
You have 24 hours.
I swear, if you don't come
and bring the money with you,
you'll be having
an absentee funeral for Suleiman.
Oof. So, you won't even give us
his body to bury him?
Give it to me. Listen, you animal!
I swear, if something happens
to my father, you'll be sorry.
[Sattam] You call this a threat,
you lame idiot? Give it to me!
Listen here, you morons.
If you even touch my father,
I swear I'll rip out your guts,
one by one.
You say 24 hours. Don't you know who I am?
I suggest that you go easy on yourself.
I only need six hours
to come over to you and finish you!
[clears throat]
Guys, we give them what they want.
Nothing can happen to him.
I suggest we give them
all the money, guys, really.
Really. We should give it all to them.
If Suleiman finds out that you gave them
the money, he'll kill himself.
He will kill himself, right?
So, he's going to die anyway,
whether we give them or...
We shouldn't give them the money.
He'll die anyway.
My father must be released.
They'll kill him if we give it to them.
And if he's released, he'll kill himself.
He'll die anyway. Excuse me.
The money will be safe with me.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, DAD
[door opens]
[Sattam] You want a question?
But children your age
are told stories, not questions.
Your questions are easy.
They make me sleepy.
Okay. I'll challenge you, then.
I challenge you to answer my question,
sleepyhead.
Okay, ask.
What's the traveling distance
of lightning in miles,
if its speed is 15 seconds?
How do you know?
If the interval between hearing thunder
and seeing lightning
is 15 seconds, then if you divide 15 by 5,
you get 3.
[kisses]
[gentle music playing]
We're done with the scan,
Hiyam, and as I said,
with God's blessings,
you're having a girl.
She'll be beautiful
She'll have your hair,
and she'll have your eyes
and your pretty face.
- Hiyam, can you hear me? Hiyam.
- [music fades]
I thank Allah for his blessings.
Pour me some tea, eh?
I'll smack you
with these prayer beads, you snob.
He had some tamis,
and now he thinks I'm a waiter.
- Pour it yourself.
- [chuckles]
Hey, Goatee. You pour me some tea, then.
Betting big, are we?
- Always.
- Okay.
Hey, man, how are you? A driver?
Okay, just a minute. I'm coming.
Oh, and, uh, get me a tea boy.
We have a snob here who wants tea.
- Snob?
- Send him a tea boy.
Okay. Okay, guys, uh
- See this?
- What?
They say there's a saying
that goes, "Time is money."
"Time is money."
Excuse me, guys. Thank you.
I swear to God, you guys are embarrassing.
- [chuckles]
- Upstarts.
[intense music playing]
[sighs]
Mm-hmm Hmm.
Are you going with them?
You're getting on my nerves,
coming and going.
What's with you?
You're giving me a headache.
Man, the situation's getting serious.
I can't wait to hand over that idiot.
[Suleiman] You're the bugger!
You and that fat boy!
I've had enough of him.
- Chill, man. Where are you going?
- Don't touch me.
- I'll tie you up and let him go.
- [clicks tongue]
- How to hand over hostages?
- [cell phone chimes]
[male voice] After negotiating
and determining the...
- No, I want a woman's voice.
- Yeah.
[female voice] Agreeing
on the conditions of the exchange.
Who is going to be exchanged.
Conditions, place, and time.
A neutral third party
should act as a mediator.
Make sure to wear a disguise.
Show up with a scary appearance.
Arm yourself for protection.
Trust in God.
- [cat meows]
- [in Arabic] God is great.
[praying quietly]
[cat meows]
Peace be upon you.
Peace be upon you.
O Allah, my Lord, please.
Save me from this hardship that I'm in.
Shh! Psst! Psst!
[cat meows]
- [sighs]
- [nearby clattering]
What? What was that, sir? What happened?
[chuckles nervously] Nothing.
Nothing. Everything's fine.
It's just a cat.
It came from up there
and fell on the table
and knocked down a plate and broke it.
That's all. It's really nothing.
Oh. Don't worry, sir.
Let me clean up those pieces.
- Hey, uh, listen.
- Hmm? What?
Do you really think
that your friends are going to come back
and take me home, huh?
You see, I, uh
[clicks tongue] Since I saw you,
I thought you were someone
who was completely different
from your friends.
- Huh?
- Mm-hmm.
[clicks tongue] Say, do you lift weights?
- Yeah. Yeah, sir.
- Excellent.
That's very good.
Because you're going
to carry this whole thing alone.
You know where your friends are right now?
At the airport.
They packed their belongings.
They're going
[imitates jet engine]
to Thailand.
[intense music playing]
[Suleiman] Of course you know Thailand,
with all of its green,
beautiful landscapes.
They'll be eating
and sunbathing on the beach,
while you, poor boy,
you'll be sleeping in ward seven.
Listen, I'm a firm believer that
that any crime must have a scapegoat.
And you will be the scapegoat.
[Abadi sighs]
- [intense music fades]
- [vehicle approaching]
[car doors open]
[suspenseful music playing]
[friend] Do you have the dollars?
We never agreed to any dollars.
Wait. Riyals.
[friend] You shut up,
or I'll smack your face.
Where's Suleiman?
The deal was, you hand us the money,
then you'll find Suleiman
waiting for you at your doorstep.
Okay, then. Let him go home,
and we will give you the money.
- We won't go anywhere.
- Wait a minute. Take it easy.
[thug] Give us the money,
or I'll shoot your face off right here.
Give them the money. Please, I beg you.
Just give them the money.
I want my father back.
[friend] So, my friend, are you going
to give us the money or what?
Let me see Suleiman,
even if it's a picture.
[friend] I am not here to play games.
I swear to God Almighty,
if I start my car and leave
without the money,
I swear, you'll never see Suleiman,
in real life, nor in a picture.
- Put it down.
- Put down the briefcase.
Give it to them, please.
Things are getting out of hand.
- We want our father back.
- [friend] Put it down.
Come on, now step back.
- [thug] Back off.
- [friend] Come on, all the way back.
Move away, you stubborn man.
[friend and thug] Watch out.
Watch out. Watch out.
- [Amjad] Watch out, young man.
- [friend] Good.
Don't move.
Stay right there, stubborn man.
- [Amjad] "Stubborn"?
- And you.
- Stay close to him. Hands up.
- [thug] Back off.
- That's it, yeah.
- [friend] Stay where you are, my friend.
- [inhales sharply] Easy, my friend, easy.
- I'll turn now. Nobody move.
[friend] Easy, my friend.
Don't move!
[thug] Faster, faster, faster. Let's go.
- [friend] Don't move!
- [thug] Don't move, both of you! Back off.
Thank God. We did it.
- Let's calm down and go home.
- [Amjad] Go, go.
Mr. Amjad, let me tell you.
Thank God my brother joined.
Thanks be to our generous Lord.
Otherwise, they would have taken
my intestines
and my kidneys and would've been
playing chess with them right now.
They would take it and move it.
Then pull out my intestines and do this
Then they would put it back.
- They were scared of him.
- [chuckles]
He was right there in the car on standby.
With the car in first gear, watching us.
If there was any funny business
Any funny business from those scumbags,
and he would have run them over
just like that. You know?
- God, bring back my father.
- Amen.
There he is!
[Sattam] See? I told you
they were a professional gang.
[Amjad] Is that your father?
[brother] Yes, that's my father!
- [cat meows]
- [line ringing]
Man, I knew it.
I swear to God I knew it. I swear.
I knew this would happen. I knew it.
Stop it, you're giving me a headache.
Shut up.
- Hello?
- Shut up, now. I swear I knew it.
So, how's Thailand? Is it nice?
Thailand? What are you talking about,
you stupid moron?
Where's the old man?
Where did you take him?
- He's tied up right where you left him.
- He's not here. He ran away.
He's not here.
- Give me the phone. Give it to me.
- Here.
You're an idiot, idiot!
Did you really think we would trick you?
You know what, you idiot?
They gave us blank paper, you jackass.
Give me the phone. Give it to me.
Come on. Let's get out of here.
Let's go
before he reports us to the police.
Pick that up. Let's go.
I should never have made
any plans with you.
It's my fault for thinking
that you knew what you were doing.
This is bullshit!
Then I grabbed the last one.
I grabbed him by the neck,
and I choked him.
He had a knife to overpower me.
[laughs defiantly]
He pulled, and I pulled.
He pulled, and I pulled.
But, I mean, honestly
[clicks tongue] I'm confused.
How were you able to convince them
that you would give them 3 million?
Those fools believed it.
They fell for it.
I heard them with my own ears.
You know who they are? You saw them?
Yeah, buddy. They are
You know Abu Fahad's workers?
They had the same smell of imported spices
that always comes out of them.
- Ironically, Abu Fahad is accusing me.
- [brother] Really?
He's accusing me of stealing
100,000 riyals worth of merchandise
from him.
Uncle, how many were they?
Well, my child,
with all the commotion and noise
- I'd say there were five.
- [Hiyam] Mm.
- Yeah, five.
- [Hiyam] Mm-hmm.
But after I got rid of them
I ran to the street.
Kept running and running!
And I was certain
I knew that none of you
would come looking for me
because you knew that Suleiman
could break free and save himself.
[chuckles]
Why are you all quiet?
[Hiyam sighs]
[Amjad sighs]
[Hiyam] I'll talk.
I won't keep my mouth shut any longer.
I swear, I advised them. I warned them,
and I told them not to give them anything.
Shut up.
Not to give them anything?
- Give them what?
- [Hiyam] The money.
- Money?
- [brother gulps]
[Suleiman] Huh?
Do you guys even have three million
to give to them?
- From the safe.
- [Suleiman] Safe?
Speak up! What safe?
Your safe, Father.
What matters is
that you're back in one piece.
- [tense music playing]
- [Suleiman] My safe?
My money?
- [brother, muffled] Are you happy now?
- [Hiyam] Yes. I was going to talk.
[Suleiman] My money. All my money is gone.
- [Hiyam and brother arguing]
- [Suleiman] My money
My fortune.
[Hiyam shouting]
[Suleiman] My safe.
[distortion fades]
[wind gusting]
- My money.
- [wind gusting]
My hard work.
- [gasps]
- [intense music playing]
My money! Where is it?! Where?!
My money!
My money! My money!
My money!
- [sobbing]
- [intense music fades]
[ringing doorbell]
[line ringing]
[error signal beeps]
[line ringing]
[suspenseful music playing]
I've been trying to find you
for two hours.
Shut your trap.
Where is the money, Sattam? Tell me.
- I ought to ask you that.
- [groans]
- [Abadi] Stop lying.
- [gasps]
[friend] There is only 2,000 riyals
in the briefcase!
I swear, I'm the one who came here
looking for the money.
I came to ask about the money.
[friend] I'm telling you,
the money we got is fake.
[pounds on dash]
- [friend] Go!
- Go where?
[friend] Shut up and go!
- [Sattam] Tell him to let go.
- Come on, let him go.
- [thug] Come on, move.
- Pretending you didn't know? Come on!
[tracker beeping]
[sighs deeply]
[Hiyam] I told you
all that their energy was negative
and that I knew how to deal with them,
but you wouldn't listen.
- Hiyam.
- [Sattam's mother] Suleiman! Suleiman!
That gang kidnapped Sattam.
What?!
They're enjoying this.
They're kidnapping one after the other.
If only I could find that gang
so that I could take back my money.
[Sattam's mother]
You only care about money?
Don't you care about your son?
You've always chased money!
You never allowed yourself
or your children to enjoy it.
Instead of proclaiming
the blessings of the Lord.
Well, Auntie, we have no blessings
to proclaim anymore.
Grandpa, here's my Switch.
Sell it, and bring back my dad.
No, my child.
I'll go there myself,
and I'll take back my money from them.
[Sattam's mother] Bring back your son.
Check your phone.
I sent you the location.
- [foreboding music playing]
- [wind whistling]
[thug] This is the warehouse
where I used to work.
- [friend] Come on, guys. Let's go.
- [labored breathing]
[foreboding music swells]
I need some air.
Yes, I need some air, please.
Yeah. Where are we?
- What's going on?
- Get down, you bastard.
What's happening?
Why did you throw me in the trunk?
You think you're in some American movie?
Uh, you're holding me hostage, you pricks?
- Just walk.
- [Sattam groans]
You sons of bitches.
- [Abadi] Move it.
- [Sattam] Ya'qub!
Focus. I'm your friend, buddy.
Your friend.
- Ya'qub, focus.
- Shut up. You're definitely not my friend.
- Where's the money?
- [Sattam] I came to you for the money.
Show it to me.
I'll give you all of it. Just let me go.
If I knew, I wouldn't have asked you.
It looks like you want me to bury you.
[tense music playing]
This is the gun that we painted together.
It's plastic.
Move a little, move.
Let me go!
Father, they held you hostage here?
[tense music swells]
I swear I knew it, I swear.
I told you, but you wouldn't believe me.
I told you, I had a feeling.
Are you going to shut up,
or should I tie you up too?
[thug] I told you that we're too clumsy
for this kind of thing. I told you.
[Ya'qub] Please, bro.
Why don't you just shut up?
[Suleiman] What?
You think this is a loose country?
Not governed by law?
That you could kidnap
whoever you want? Why?
You think I'm stupid, you and your kids?
You think you can fool me?
- Where's my money?
- Where's my father's money?
Your money is with your son, sir.
- What?
- Shut up, or I'll smash your teeth.
Yeah. And here's another surprise.
This whole plan was his idea.
He said, "Kidnap my father,
then demand a ransom,
and we'll share it together."
- You sold us out.
- Hey, hey, hey. Whoa, whoa, whoa.
Whoa. Hey.
You shameless piece of shit.
You plotted with those scumbags
against your own father?
You ingrate?!
No, I swear to God, Father.
I'm not ungrateful.
You kept pushing me away. I had no choice.
Every time I came,
you shut your door in my face.
But it's always open to that idiot.
I swear to God,
I'm drowning in so many problems,
and I'm in extreme danger.
What danger?
[laughs] "Danger," he says.
What danger, Mr. Danger?
It's just an electricity bill
and a water bill.
You're the one who doesn't want to work.
You don't want to earn your living,
you loser.
And he earns his living?
If we don't give you the money
What will you do?
- Cut his throat.
- We'll kill him.
- No, of course not. We're not killing him.
- Yes, we are.
[Suleiman] Hmm.
- So, kill him, then.
- [somber music playing]
[music grows suspenseful]
I wonder what brought you all together.
Didn't you guys know that every million
that circulates in Riyadh,
I know about it?
Hey, Samarmad.
What a bunch of morons, I swear to God.
You hear me, all of you?
Where's my money, kid?
[thug] Run!
[man grunts]
[breathing shakily]
[man] You think you can hide?
I'm gonna get you.
[Abu Ateq] Huh? Where's the money, kid?
And now
Well, this dumb idiot is still my son.
You're as dumb as your son.
[Suleiman] What did you just say?
[Abu Ateq] You think you'll scare me
with this rusty little gun?
Don't you point your gun at my father.
I'm warning you.
Your problem is with me.
Shut up. Where is the money?
Go ask the gang
that you just scared away for the money.
Where's the money?
Damn you. For ten years,
you wouldn't work with your father,
only to end up working with these thugs?
- Show respect, old man.
- [Sattam] This thug invested with me.
He was the one
who gave me 250,000. Imagine?
- He trusted me.
- Ha. And you lost it, you loser.
See? Did you hear what he said?
He called you a loser.
I'm not the only one
who thinks you're a loser.
The criminal himself
just called you a loser.
Oh, dear God. So, a person who claims
what's theirs is a criminal now?
Where's the money?
- Come on. Move.
- [sobbing] No. I don't want to die.
- Let's go. You idiot.
- [whimpers] We'll die.
Move. Hurry up. Let's go.
[Abadi grunts]
[Abadi groans]
[gun fires nearby]
[panting]
- [both grunting]
- [gunshot]
Damn
[Suleiman groaning]
[thug] Man, we're busted.
[Ya'qub] Come on. Come on. Come on.
- [thug] Go, go. Quick.
- Stop it, man. Please.
Stop it. I'm going as fast as I can.
Shut up!
[Ya'qub shouting indistinctly]
[shouts]
[thug] Abadi!
- [gun fires]
- [Abadi groans]
[thug] Run! We have to go!
[Abadi screaming]
Help me! I'm going to die! I'm dying!
- [Ya'qub] Abadi!
- [Abadi] Help. I'm gonna fall. Help!
Get off my father! Okay! That's enough!
Enough! That's enough! [Shouts]
[Abu Ateq groans]
[Sattam grunts]
- [strains]
- [groans]
[truck horn blares]
[suspenseful music dies down]
- [fire alarm blaring]
- [Abu Ateq groaning]
[both straining and coughing]
[men scream]
- [eerie music playing]
- [explosions blast in distance]
[quietly] Thank God. Thank God.
Forgive me, Father. Forgive me, please.
- Forgive me.
- [sighs]
I forgive you, son.
It's all okay, thank God.
[high-pitched ringing]
[distorted coughing, groaning]
[groans, coughs]
[strains, groans]
[coughs]
[coughing]
[dramatic music rises]
[engine revving]
[music cuts out]
What have you done?
[energetic remix
of Mozart's "Lacrimosa" playing]
[Sattam] Thank God.
Since God allowed us to stay alive, guys,
and we know that money
is just earthly scum,
I have this new idea
to compensate for all our losses.
[Abadi sobs]
Really.
- No, no, no. No. No more.
- For God's sake, enough.
[Ya'qub] Here we are again with no money.
[Abadi] Okay, but where's the money?
[energetic music fades]
[Amjad] It's been a wonderful 30 years
with you, Haji Suleiman.
[sighs]
[Amjad] But the time has come
to go back to my family.
You got back your money and your children.
With my regards.
[contented sigh]
[energetic remix of "Lacrimosa" continues]
[energetic music fades]
