" You are very nice but the offset is all..." "I think I will wait until later." " But I will summarise for you." "For your father, it is rather difficult." "Because I cannot find the moment of death." "For your brother..." " Excuse me, but what are we talking about?" " I have asked for help, Simon." "Lawyer Maddad has been kind enough to give us a hand" "To accelerate matters." " I told you Jean, that we came to find Jeanne."

"Do you know of Nawal Marwan?" "Have you worked as a nurse in the prison on Kfar Ryat?" " She says that she knew your mother." " Did you help our mother give birth in prison?" " Yes." " Madam, we seek the child that Nawal Marwan had in prison." "Can you help us?" " She used to work in the prison at Kfar Ryat." "She attended her during childbirth." "She has collected the children."

" Did you really know the woman who sings?" "You do not know what it means to me." " Nawal Marwan worked for me" "For 18 years as a secretary." "My wife and I had great affection for her and her children." "But I must confess that I realise that in the end, I did not really know her." "Ready?" " Ready." " Hum..." "Lawyer Maddad has done the work I asked her to do to find traces of your brother and father." " About your father, Abou Tarek," "I have still not found any record of his death." "The records have gone missing." "He may have gone abroad." "What happened to people like that." "They are either dead or gone." "We must see." " Perhaps it is better this way." " About your brother..." "Your client, Mrs Nawal Marwan, comes from the village of Der Om." "She handed the child to a mid-wife called Elham," "Who passed it on to the orphanage of Kfar Khout" "In May 1970." "The bulk of the work was tracing documents." "Many documents were lost in the war." "But I have found the registers which have been recovered and given by the Sisters of Charity to the National Archives." "In May 1970, the midwife of Der Om, Elham," "Adopted a male child." "He was the only boy deposited at the orphanage that month." "Look." "He was registered with the surname of Nihad." "The dates match." "It is him." " Ha!" "It is your brother!" "Nihad." " Orphanage of Kfar Khout," "Nihad de Mai." "That was his name for the registrars." "Nihad of the month of May." "They used a temporary family name of the month of arrival." "There was no adoption during this period." "It was the beginning of the war." "The orphanage was destroyed four years later." "We must ask who destroyed the orphanage of Kfar Khout" "To find out what happened to the children." "Between you and me, with what has happened in the area... there is not much hope." " It is likely that he is also dead." " I am not saying that he is dead." "I am saying that we have lost all trace of him." " It is likely that both of them have died." "Having opened the envelopes thats it." " I am not going to allow this, Simon." "This kind of thing is sacred." "It is like committing a rape." " That's good, I have the background." "Excuse me." " We still have things to find out." "But it is rather radical." "The leader of the war who demolished the orphanage is still alive." "and he may know what happened to these children, of whom Nihad was one." " It has been an eternity." " You need to understand that during this period there were a succession of reprisals which dovetail together in an implacable logic, in their horror." "A war chief is exactly the type of man who has along memory." "And he will remember, believe me." "Wallat Chamseddine," "That is his name." " Where do we find him?" " You are not looking for him, he is looking for you." "But you can try something." "Do you like tea, Mr Marwan?" " This is your turn." "You are going to make tea in the refugess camp at Deressa." "You will go there and drink the tea without introducing yourself in the camp with the person that you will invite." "And you will say that you are the son of the woman who sang" "And that you are looking for Nihad de Mai." "You cannot go there alone." "I will find you someone to accompany you." " Welcome to Deressa." " Ha!" "Ha!" "Do you know where you are going, Simon?" " No." "How are you?" " Good God, you have grown!" " I have finished my engineering studies." "I cannot find a job, Now I am a taxi driver." " What has led you here?" " I am with foreign visitors, who have asked me to bring them here." " Welcome, come." " No thank you, we are in a hurry." " Please, come." " You are invited to have tea." " Oh, good!" " Oh,He asked why you came to Deressa." " I am looking for someone called Nihad de Mai." " He does not know Nihad de Mai." "He asked me your names." " My mother comes from the village of Der Om, in the South." "My mother, is the woman who sings." "Yes, that is OK." "It is done." "Wait for what?" " Sarwan Marwan?" " Yes." " We came to offer you help." "You will be back in an hour." " Should I warn my sister?" " No, you will return in an hour, we promise." " Hang on a moment, I am going to put a shirt on." " He will get on the phone." " It will work." " Right!" "Don't worry, you can follow." "Oh, I have told you: the South, a spark and it will explode." "Oh, of course." "You have been very helpful, We are going to help you in return." "You must leave the country." "It will be easier." "We will find you a house and a job." "I would like to make your life better." "We have a lot of contacts in America." "You must leave with your children." "I know that they are alive." "Take them with you." "The children will be a help, you will see." " You cannot ask me to do this." " Your children are our children, Nawal." "Your family is our family." "Trust me." "I will help you." "I will always be there for you and your children." "Hello, Sarwan." "Excuse my introduction but it is for your protection." "My name is Wallat Chamseddine." "Tell me what I can do to help you, Sarwan Marwan?" " You knew my mother." " Let us say that she has worked for me." "What can I do to help?" " I am looking for a man called Nihad de Mai." " Why are you looking for Nihad de Mai?" " He is my brother." "My mother has asked me to find him again." " And Why do you say that Nihad de Mai is the son of Nawal Marwan?" " My brother was put up for adoption by the orphanage of Kfar Khout." "We have rediscovered the registry with the original entry." "The dates... all match." "Nihad de Mai, is my brother." " My friends and I attacked the Christians in the village of Kfar Khout... as a response to the attacks of which our brothers, the refugees were victims." "There was an orphanage in Kfar Khout." "I spared the children." "They came with us." "and Nihad was among them." "We have trained and prepared them so they can fight beside us." "Nihad had a talent." "It was in his hands." "And quickly, he became a formidable marksman." "But he wanted to find his mother." "He sought her for months." "Nihad, I do do not know what he has seen or heard." "He became... maddened by war." "Whenm I last saw him, he wanted to be a martyr" "Because his mother posted his picture everywhere on the walls of the country." "But I have refused." "to let him got back to Daresh." "He became a maverick, the most dangerous in the region." "A real machine." "He shoots a gun at everyone." "and then, the enemy invaded." "And then one morning..." "They captured Nihad." "He killed seven riflemen." "They did not kill him." "They moulded him" "And he was sent to the prison of Kfar Ryat." " Did he go to prison?" " Yes." "As an executioner." " Did he work with my father?" " No, He did not work with Abou Tarek, your father." " How are you?" " One plus one... makes two." " What?" " One plus one equals two." "It may not make one." " Hey, you have a fever." " Jeanne?" "one plus one, does that make one?" " There are freedom, here." " Oh, Do as you wish." " Can I help you, madam?" " Excuse me." "On becoming executioner, your brother changed his name." "He became Abou Tarek." "Nihad de Mai is Abou Tarek." "We now know he lives in Canada under another identity." "Nihad Harmanni." " Mr Harmanni?" " Yes?" " This is for you." "I am writing to you trembling." "I recognised you." "But you did not recognise me." "It is a beautiful miracle." "I am your number 72." "This letter will be handed to you by our children." "You do not know them because they are beautiful," "But they know who you are." "Through them, I want to tell you" "That you are still alive." "But for the moment, you will keep it to yourself." "I know." "Because silence is more important than the truth." "Signed.:" "The whore 72." "I spoke to my son." "I did not talk about the executioner." "Whatever happens, I will always love him." "This is the promise that I made at your birth, my son." "Whatever happens I will always love him." "I have been looking for him all my life." "I have found you." "You did not recognise me." "You have your tatoo on your right heel." "I have seen it." "I recognised it."
