"Spare me this kind of work" " l don't wanna go back - l want you to earn some dough" "Days have changed, nothing is the same" "You won't have the chance for a decent job and you won't be able to earn enough" "Don't you worry, I've worked everything out" " You just got to do what I'm telling you" " Hopefully" "3 weeks later" "Move away man, we don't get to see these things anywhere" "Picho, turn o_ the TV and go down and keep your eyes wide open" "Come on" "Tito, you get changed and set things straight and close the door behind me" "Say Tarek, what's going on down there?"

"You don't know me, I'm sure Sobhi didn't mention me" "Do you have the money?" "Don't worry, we can't talk about it in the phone" "Tito?" " It looks like you're unarmed" " It looks like you're a cop" "Where's the money?" " Here you go" " What's this?" "It was the share of Sobhi and his men, you earned it" "A 200 thousand dollars job for mere bucks in return?" "That was the deal and it's none of your business" "Listen, you don't know me but you sure know Sobhi very well" "And you must know that he's got a family to provide for" "And you're the secretary general of this family of his?"

"I don't give a shit, this is my right" "You want me to believe that you're gonna give the money for his kids?" "Fine" "Don't you bother" "If this orphans drama you pulled is true" "We'd have got ourselves a trustworthy man to deal with" "Who do I have the honor to deal with?" "Just call me pops" "5 months later" "Have you got yourself a car yet, Tito?" "Not yet, sir i spent everything on this new flat I brought a decorator who made me pay around 200 thousand pounds up till now" " What for?" " Who knows?" "Each time he brings some furniture, he says it's modern and too expensive" "And it's... what's this word?" " Classic" " Yeah, classic and expensive" "Throw them over there Tito, throw them over there I'm just going along with him coz l just wanna be done with it" "Listen, you buy yourself a new car once you go to Egypt" "And never mind the cost I'll pay for it and deduce it from any operation" "Thank you boss, you're so kind" "What did the decorator tell you?" "He's laughing at me" "He uses a bunch of foreign terms and you know I'm not quite skilled in foreign languages" " Where's this flat?" " In Zamalek" " Zamalek?" " If you want, I can change it" "Give it to me Tito" "It's your son, right?" "It's okay if you don't wanna answer" "This is a workshop by day but it's just for cover" "And by night, it's an arms warehouse" " l quit" " Since when?" "The doctor's orders, anyway, you'll find 5 to 6 guys on both gates 2 here, and three there" "There's one janitor at the end of the street and another one for back-up upstairs" "By the way, you'll need a bunch of guys to aid you I got them" "Most importantly, I want you in and out in about 30 minutes" " When will it take place?" " l have to know our mission's date first" "Don't forget to leave a couple of guns for us to seize" "Or it'll be a complete fiasco" "Don't worry boss, we can leave it all for you if you like" "Aren't you gonna tell me your real name?" "Excuse me, but Mr. Ramzi doesn't seem like the proper name for you" "Good morning Mr. Refaat" "What do you mean Hassan?" "What do you mean?" "He's been in custody for 48 hours and can't seem to get a word out of him?" "But sir, the guy's scared shitless" "You know quite well that beating them was the only way" "We're out of ways now, we can't make them rat on each other" "There are numerous other ways, Hassan" " Good morning sir" " How are you doing Hossam?" " Good job on that mission" " Thank you sir" " It's front page news" " Thank you sir" " We're your students" " Congratulations" " You'll get to work with Samy" " Mr. Refaat?" " He's great" " Mr. Refaat?" " _es - l got a call" "There is word on the street that a couple of guys are coming from Sina" "With a huge shipment of drugs" " Get me a warrant" " Yes sir lt's not our problem sir" "We've got the boy's confession and the guns" " It's a solid case" " The jail's full of dealers Hassan I want the big leaders" "Look Sayyed, you heard of the lie detector used in the USA?" " Yes sir" " Fine" "We have something quite like it but with a national twist lt's called the peg top lt's linked to an electrical current with two pieces sticking out of it" "One is attached to your tongue and another one in a special place you know very well" "An electrical current of 10 OOO volts" "You'd better live your life I've got another o_er to make I can let you step out of this door absolutely free, but on one condition you must tell me everything you know" "What guarantee do I have that you're gonna let me out?" "You jackass, I'm not interested in you I want the big chiefs" " l'm at your service sir" " Well said" "He's gonna cooperate with us, Hassan" "Write down his statement and let him go free at once" "Sit down Sayyed" "Yes sir" "Yes sir" "They went back home?" "Of course, we're not kidding here" "Sir Refaat, what about this peg top?" "Hey" "Kick it over here" "What is it?" "Come on" " What is it?" " Nothing, dog" " Reda" " Tito" " How are you doing?" " l'm doing fine" "Don't you wanna know what I brought you with me?" " What did you bring me?" " l can't show it to you here" "Then where?" "Good evening" "What have you done, you brat?" " What did you do now?" " Go easy on him" "All you bring home is trouble" " Go easy on him Ma'am" " Why is that?" " Go easy on him" " What is it?" " l brought him here" " Why is that?" " Dear Lord, ain't this his home?" " His home?" "This little boy is a bum, the street is his home" " What home can bring up this kind of street rats?" " Mom, where's my white shirt?" "Get inside and get dressed" "Listen, Um Reda, your son is still a small boy and have nothing but his house and family" "He must go to school, study, and play" "What boy and what school?" "I told you he's a street rat" "You think I'm very pleased to see him lead this miserable life I'm at my wit's end" "Why else do you think I'm going through hell?" "This is just a wanderer, he's a good for nothing" " Here you go Um Reda" " What's this?" "It's some money to provide for Reda" "From now on, he won't be a pickpocket on the streets" "You'll get a similar sum each month but he must go back to school" "He's my boy, I know him very well" "He won't stay at home and he won't go back to school" " This is your duty, you can make him do it" " You think I can?" "Reda, come on, take a bath and get changed" " l'm gonna check on you once in a while" " Fine" " Say, who are you sir?" " It's not important" "What's important is that God sent him someone to tend for him" " l thank the Lord" " Take care" "You're angry coz you sold it for 10 thousand pounds less I understand perfectly well" "He gave us his old car to be sold" "And I've got a client ready to pay 120 for it" "We bought it for 95, so we'd have gained 25 thousand pounds" "What's the big deal if I sold it to him 10 thousand pounds less?" " Excuse me" " One second sir" " How can I help you?" " l'd like to sell you that car" "Please have a seat, have a seat please" "Yes sir, yeah" "He's right here, yeah l'll give you a call" " Fine sir" " That's okay, I'm here" "Mr. Fares, good day sir" "Have a seat I'll get you the papers, I'm gonna go get the file and I'll be right back" "Okay" " You're being cheated sir" " What?" "You're being screwed sir" "He sold your old car for 120 thousand pounds" "And he'll give you 95 thousand pounds I heard him talk about it on the phone sir" " 120?" " There's nothing in it for me?" "I'm just telling you for your own good, you're free to do whatever you like" "Congratulations sir" "You're gonna sign me checks of the approved sum" "And the dates are just what we agreed upon lf you have the cash money right now, it's a done deal" " l wanted to sell it right away - l have the cash money sir" "But allow me to take a look at the car" "Go ahead, it's parked over there in the back" " Excuse me" " What is going on?" " It's nothing at all" " The guy's gonna buy my car for 1 1O" " But I gave him my word" " You can tell him anything 15 OOO pounds man, it's no laughing matter" "Mr. Fares, I'll pay the di_erence myself but I can't break my word" "Fine then, great" "Fix those checks and I'm gonna apologize for the man out there" "But listen, find him a nice car for a nice amount of money I want him to be satisfied" " You haven't got your car yet?" " l'll have it tomorrow" " Why are you standing here?" " Hopefully, I'll get a cab" "A cab?" "In the middle of the desert, get in, man" " Get in, I'll give you a lift" " Thank you" " What is your name?" " My friends call me Tito" "That's a nice name Tito, thanks a lot for what you did in there lt's no big deal, it's not right and I couldn't let him do it" "He was bargaining with the client" "You sold it for a big sum, he was making a fortune out of it" "What took you so long?" "Are we gonna eat or what?" " Two months later" " Five minutes, sweetie" " Fine, send it over here" " Okay" " Yeah, Nermin" " Yes Ma'am" " Find me Ibrahim and send him over here" " Okay" "Come on, throw it up, what the hell are you looking at?" "Shut your mouth Ibrahim" "And I'm gonna shoot" "No Tito, you must shoot with the left one" " The left one and that's a goal" " Goal" "What do you think?" "Did you have to shoot a goal?" "Can't you see I'm having some troubles playing it?" " Come on, let's eat, what?" " Tell me" " How do I look?" " You're looking great" " l mean, my clothes are fine?" " Absolutely, come on, let's go" " Spare us the talk" " Fine, fine" "Aren't you gonna find yourself a job, Tito?" " Instead ofjust sitting jobless?" " You're right I've got the dough but what would I do with it?" " Anything" " You invest them somewhere I can invest in the stock exchange but you're still gonna be jobless" "Jobless?" "What's with this jobless issue Fares?" "Fine man, I'll find you something to do" " You burned it?" " Have I ever burnt the food?" " You do it all the time, man" " Take it" " Let's talk about the SARS" " What cats?" "What are you talking about?" " You forget about Sharam El Sheikh?" " What's with Sharam El Sheikh?" " What's the story with Sharam El Sheikh?" " It's a strange story" " Here you go Tito" "Thank you" "Sit down Tito" "Tell us about Sharam El Sheikh" " You want me to tell it?" " What do you want me to say?" "What exactly happened in Sharam El Sheikh?" "You forgot?" "You remember last year when I wanted to have a diving course?" " The man came with me?" " Yeah" "We were sitting, making a barbecue and about to eat" "Okay" "Freeze, nobody move" "Let me do it for you" "We'll only be here for 10 minutes" "No heroes, coz l don't wanna hurt anybody" "Come on boys" "Come on quick" "Get the boxes quickly boys" "Come on, come on, come on" "Quickly, quickly" "I didn't wanna take these three pieces" "Thus I brought them to you" "Fine Tito" "Thank you" "This is the final share of 20O" "You don't seem satisfied" "No boss, I was just thinking of something else" "Something else?" "You remember when you gave me the money to buy a car?" "I met a fine fellow, a straight man" "With noble origins" "Their parents are extremely wealthy" "I was beginning to think that all wealthy people are just rascals, dirty l thought that for them, the end justifies the means" "But when I got to meet this man" "And..." "I got into his house and met his family I found that money is the last thing on their mind" "They're nice people" "They treated me right" "Nobody asked me about my origins" "They're clean, very clean" "And respected" "You know what?" "It's the first time I feel like a human being, not like a piece of shit" "What are you trying to say Tito?" "I wanna become clean, respected l want out sir" "And how would you live, you respected fellow?" "Just like everybody" "You think that if you got yourself anotherjob, you'd be able to earn this amount of money?" "What are we doing?" "We're just taking the thieves' money investing it in huge projects for the best of the country" "And we're getting paid for that" "Tell me something" "You think that if you didn't have this amount of money" "You'd be able to hang out with these people?" "You're not gonna be one of them just by sticking together" " Sir, these people are di_erent" " If you asked their girl in marriage" "Would they accept?" "You're like a son to me, you must understand lf you wanna become a respected fellow" "Money is the only means" " Let's do it" " Let's do it" " That's right" " Come on" " Let him take our picture" " Yeah, a picture" " No, no, fine listen" " Come over here ls that so?" "Wait a second, Tito" " Come" " Where to?" " We're taking a photo" " No, I don't like photos" " Please, spare me this" " Come on, do it for me" "Let him take our picture" "No matter how it is, come on" "Come closer" "Can I have a glass of water?" " This one is clean, I haven't touched it" " Thank you" "Thank you" "Why are you standing alone?" "It's just that I only know Fares around here" "Fares talks about you all the time" "Tito, Tito, all he ever talks about is Tito" "Nice of you to say so" "Fares is like a brother of mine I've known him for quite a while, I hold him very dear" "What is your real name?" " What?" "You don't know your name?" " No, I'm not that fool" "How can I not know my name?" "But it's been a very long time I haven't heard this question" " And it's only in specific occasions" " What's your name?" " Taher" " Taher?" "Taher Abd El Hay Sleem" "What's new?" "I'm talking with your friend Taher, excuse me" "Taher?" "Your name is Taher?" "Yes, Taher Abd El Hay..." "Sleem I've never told you my name is Taher" "Taher, Taher" "This is my life's project I've dreamt about it since I was 1 7 years old" " This wreck is your dream?" " This wreck will become a piece of art" "Nobody will believe that this place really exists in Egypt" "Hopefully I'll be able to get the building permit" "Why don't you let me work with you on this?" "Yes Hassan, sorry I forgot" "Wait a second, I'll run a search and give you the answer right away" "Why don't you let me work with you, as your partner I mean" "The devil you know better than the devil you don't know" "No Tito" "My own dad wanted to be my partner but I refused" "You said you'll find me something to do, Fares" "Yeah, but not in this deal, Tito" "You think I'm gonna mess it up, man?" "Yes Hassan, no, it's down by 12 sterling and the other's up by 2O" "No, don't sell, call me tomorrow at my o_ice" "Fine, take care" "You saw the engagement pictures?" "Look" "Look at yourself, you were so gloomy man" "You didn't wanna get shot, huh?" "What does Miss Nour do for a living?" "She's a speech therapist" "What do you mean by that?" "It means, she helps little boys with deficient mental powers" " You mean the retarded ones" " You shouldn't call them the retarded, Tito ls she engaged?" "Tito, Nour isn't the right girl for you" "You can't have fun with her and you won't be able to marry her I know I won't have fun with her but why won't I marry her?" "Coz she comes from a noble family and you're a nobody" "Why are you saying that?" "I'm a nobody, Fares?" "Don't be mad, I'm just kidding I'll fix you a meeting with her and do what you like" "Just don't use the word retarded with her" "Fine, the mental defective" " l won't use the word retarded" " Don't mention this subject in front of her" "You mean, about the retarded?" "No I won't say a word about that I swear, you're the retarded" "My restaurant will be totally di_erent" "First of all, it won't be this high" "Second, there won't be such common people like the one over there lf you don't like this place, why did you invite us here?" " l didn't, it's Tito's choice - l swear it's not me I can't imagine that you two only met 3 months ago" "Where are you?" "Come on over here, I'm waiting for you I have to leave guys, some work problems" " What problem?" " Laundry, money laundering" "Look Nour, Tito can take you home, do you have any problem with that?" "No, fine, take care of Nour, and call me later tonight" " Would you like to order Ma'am?" " Yeah" "What do you like to have?" " l want a filet" " You'd like the mushroom sauce?" "Yeah, the mushroom sauce" " How do you like them?" " Well-cooked" " What about you sir?" " Just like her" "Okay, at your service" " Thank you" " Thank you" " What's your horoscope?" " l don't know I'm not interested in these issues" " You're serious?" " Absolutely" "So you don't know when were you born?" "No, I know my birth date but I just don't know the suitable horoscope I'm gonna tell you" " You're a lion" " It's nice of you to say so" " Bon appétit" " Thank you man" "Why did you choose this field?" "Those children were born like this, it's out of their hands" "Some people enjoy making successful business deals" "Like a tourist town, or a building construction" "But imagine the great feeling you'd have" "When you manage to help one of these kids lead a perfectly normal life" "Why aren't eating?" "I am eating" "What are you laughing at?" " About your little game" " What game?" "The phone call Fares received, forcing him to leave, it's just an old trick" "No, you just don't get it" "Anyway, that's fine, it's fine with me" "Drop me over there" " There?" " Yeah" "Why?" "Coz this is my house, thanks a lot" " Can I ask you something if you don't mind?" " Sure" " Can I have your phone number?" " What for?" "Excuse me, if it bothers you, that's okay" "What is it?" "What's your problem exactly?" " My problem?" " l mean who are you?" "Where are you coming from?" "Stu_ like that" "You mean to ask about my origins?" "I was born in a common street named Aleet El Kabsh I don't think you ever heard of it" "Then I went to the Arab Gulf with my mom and dad" "They had signed a business contract over there" "Two, three year later, they died in a car accident" "That's just life, we can do nothing" "A friend of my dad helped me" "And I grew up, I made a fortune and chose to come back to my country and live in here" " Did you had any college studies?" " Yeah, thank God" "What was your major?" "Commerce" "So you went abroad, you had a hard time, then you worked and studied" "Good for you, good for you" "God helps the ones who work hard" "Have you read the book by Saher El Sahraa?" " You read it?" " Yeah I read it" "There's some expression that touched my heart" "When a man has his heart set on something" "Everybody turns against him, until he finally achieves his goal lt was a very important lesson and it changed me drastically" "Good for you, I must go now" " Excuse me, I didn't get the number" " Yeah" "You can take it from Fares" "Take care" "A tourist town in Sharam El Sheikh I've got some important business partners" "This is the project I've always wanted to do" "To be able to finally retire and lead an easy happy life" "Frankly, I have a financing problem" "You're the only one who can help me" " l don't get it" " It's a very simplejob" "A drug shipment coming from Sina, worth over 5 to 6 million pounds" "After this job, I won't ever ask you anything else" "You'll get a good some of money yourself" "To finance your own project and lead a luxurious life" "You're absolutely sure it's the last one?" "I give you my word, Tito" " You promise me?" " Listen man I won't be able to work anymore I heard that an internal a_airs inspector is after my back" "Mainly in the last missions" "That's why I want you to pull this mission as smoothly as possible" "While we arrest the dealers, I want you to get the money but with no victims" "Understood?" "God help me" "You remember the Sharam El Sheikh land which was sold in auction" "The man who bought this land is Abdullah El Sawaf" "This man is a mere employee who's barely earning his keep" "He's now a partner in a huge tourism project with some eminent a_luent people" "You know who helped him enter this auction?" " Who?" " Captain Refaat El Sokari sir" "Can't you do anything else than Refaat El Sokari, Mohamed?" "Sir, you're perfectly aware of his file" "Why all his missions must end in fiasco" "Frankly sir, I have my doubts" "Mohamed, you have no proof against him I don't want you to make a mess with the o_icers" " What if I get you the proof?" " Then take the legal procedures" "Without even consulting me" " No one is above the law" " Yes sir" "Right away, yes, I'll do it, 50 thousand share for the 1865" "Send me the money today if you please" "Just one second sir, one second" " How are you doing?" " Sit down, sit down" "Yes sir, no you must do it today" "You'd better transfer them via Western Union" "So that they'll be in the account today" "Fine sir okay, I'll call you once the deal is done, goodbye" "Here you go man" " What's this?" " A 250 thousand pounds check" "As a first payment, it's a deal?" "Let's put this check aside now, there's something else I wanna talk to you about" "Why do you think I'm having someone like you as my partner, Tito?" "Do I need your money or your experience?" " You changed your mind?" " Listen Tito I can perfectly imagine the miserable environment you've been through" "And I don't want you to tell me about it" "The di_erence between you and anybody else who grew up in a clean environment ls that you've had a choice and you wanted to become what you are now" "That's why I'm honored to have you as a friend and a partner" "But I want to make sure of something first lf you had any past experience that might bring about any kind of problem I'd rather know about it now" "Coz if I became your partner and something went wrong because of you I'll never forgive you" "Listen man, I did all kinds of hideous deeds but one I've never betrayed a friend lt's a deal then ln the name of God, the Merciful, the Benevolent" "You're gonna have him as your boyfriend?" "My boyfriend?" "Of course not, what the hell are you talking about?" " Then what do you call this?" " l don't know" "He called me many times, to go out with him" "He's got a childish way of courting me" "Frankly, I couldn't refuse I feel he's di_erent" "Di_erent?" "Of course he would be, he's my brother's friend, right?" "Each time he finds himself a friend out of the blue" " The last one is our garage manager" " Aren't we gonna eat?" "You're letting your mind wander?" "Not at all, it's just that I have a meeting with a friend of mine" "And I must attend to it" "This friend of yours must be very important" "He's not my friend, he's not old" " It's just a nine-year-old boy" " Nine year old?" "How can he be your friend?" "It's just a little boy I saw wandering on the streets I felt pity for him so I went home with him to meet his parents and the way they're living and I'm doing my best to help him" "I pay him a visit 2 to 3 times a month, I buy him a shirt or some shoes I pay his tuition fees, things like that" " Really?" " Yeah" "Just because you saw wandering on the streets" " You did all that to him?" " Yeah I would like to meet him, can I?" "Sure" "As soon as we arrive?" " As soon as we arrive" " Okay" "I have pity on these boys lf Reda remains on the streets, he'll sure grow up into a petty criminal" "But what's his fault?" " Hunger" " And ignorance I can't believe these boys are left on the streets lf only all people can be like you" "Good morning" "The phone" "Hey man" "Yeah?" "He's coming?"

"Freeze, nobody move" "Quickly" "Hopefully, I'll make it I don't know much about restaurants" "But I put my trust in God and Fares" "Hope you achieve your aims ln case you need anything, don't hesitate to ask for it" " Frankly I need something" " What?" "We've gone some problems with the building permits" "Piece of cake, give me the legal documents and I'll work it out" " What about Nour?" " You're a mind reader boss" " What happened?" " Frankly I wanna marry this girl" " Marry her?" " Did I say something wrong?" "Absolutely not, does Nour know who you are?" "You think if she knew who you really are, she'll accept?" "You don't know Nour" "She doesn'tjudge a person according to his past origins" "Suppose she accepts, Tito" "You still got to deal with her friends and parents" "Tito, marriage isn't about two people being in love lt's a whole lifetime" "Only the girl who knows your circumstances and understand them ls the right girl for you" "Boss you don't understand, what's between me and Nour is di_erent" "Don't let that trouble you" "Grant us your blessing and it'll work outjust fine" "Congratulations Tito" " Don't forget to invite me to the wedding" " How can I?"

" No it's okay I must leave now to distribute these" " Catch you later" " Catch you later" "Come on Ahmed I'll go see the uniforms and will be back soon" "Goodbye Ahmed" " Congratulations Taher" " Thanks" "We'd better leave, I'm very late" "Well, Nour... I wanna have a word with you" "Look, sometimes we dream" "And sometimes we live in our dreams and take them for a reality" "Thank God, most of my dreams came true" "As you can see, with the restaurant, right?" "The important thing is..." "A huge part of these dreams is still missing" "Something that's more important than all this to me" "But I'm scared to believe it" "What is it?" "I don't understand" "You didn't understand what I meant by all this?" "You didn't say a thing" "You spoke about dreams and being scared of making them come true" " What do you wanna say?" " l want to get my second half" "Your second half?" "Are you proposing to me?" "Well..." "Give me some time to think about it" " l've given it a thought" " Before you say anything else lf what I said will make you mad or anything" "You know how much I care about you" " My answer is yes" " Your answer to what?" "I accept" " No kidding - l accept" "You really make me perplexed I don't understand what's so special about this guy" "For my brother to make him his partner and you your husband" "There are a million guy available Nour" "You can choose whoever you like" "Someone like us at least" "What exactly you don't like in him?" "What do I don't like?" "The question is what do you like?" "He's di_erent from any man I've ever met" "As innocent as a little baby and strong" "Sometimes I feel he can bring the whole world down for me" "And other times I feel he's so weak when he needs me imagine all these opposite qualities in one man" " Who loves for the first time" " God help you, darling" "I knew it from the beginning, he hated school and hated this house I already warned you but you didn't believe me" "All your troubles are in vain I appreciate your e_orts" " How long has he been away?" " 4 to 5 days" "Let go of me, let go of me, don't beat me, let me go" "Reda, get o_ the TV and open the door" " How are you doing Reda?" " Fine thanks" " What are you doing?" " Watching TV" "How are you doing Nour?" " You had no problems getting here?" " No" " Would you like something to drink?" " No thanks" " You want me to give you a hand?" " No, that's fine I'm just fixing two sandwiches for supper" " You got any milk?" " In the fridge" "Why don't I get him some babysitter to take care of him?" "Coz it's a responsibility" "This boy needs some discipline, are you gonna leave him to be raised by someone else?" "What choice do I have?" "Should I put him in an orphanage?" "Here, give it to him" "Get o_ the TV I want you to eat it all?" "Don't you say you've eaten your fill" "Don't you know any boarding school who'd take him?" "There's a school in Alexandria but they won't take him in?" " And why would that be?" " Coz they don't receive anyone" "Yeah, an upper class school I can pay what they're paying and even more" "Money can't solve all problems" "Then what Miss the principal?" "I feel you're notjust helping him for his own good" "You're doing it to prove your point" "You talked to your parents?" " No, not yet" " Why?" "You're ashamed of me?" "No, I'm not ashamed but I didn't get the chance to do it" "I have something in mind I'll tell you about it tomorrow I'm leaving" " l want you to eat it all" " Take care" "I'll call you first thing in the morning lf you had the chance to" " Hello sir, we're so glad to have you here" " Tito, how are you?" " Hope you like our food" " The food and the place are great" " That's so nice of you, you're welcome" " Congratulations" "Good evening Ma'am, you're welcome here I want 4 reservations in my name for tomorrow" "I have to go somewhere and I'll be right back" " Everything alright?" " Yeah, no problems" " Just don't forget the menus" " What?" " The menus Tito, the food lists" " You still don't know your brother, man?" "That's alright, how are things with Nour?" "Fine, thank God" " She knows everything about you?" " Almost lt's very sweet, Walid" "Tito, if there's something you're not telling her, you can do it, don't be afraid of anything" "She loves you and would never ditch you" "You just do what you have to so that she doesn't blame you one of these days" "You're absolutely right" " l'd better go now" " Fine, see you later" " Don't forget the menus" " Okay" "Why do you think I brought you to my house and revealed my true identity to you?" "Coz I trust you Tito, and I'm sure you wish me all the best" "What is it boss?" " l wanna ask you a favor, Tito" " What is it?" "You remember that tourist project I told you about?" "I had a share in it, via the land I took from the police" "The project is under construction" "You remember the internal a_airs o_icer I told you about, he's investigating the land too lf anybody discovers this thing, I'll be in deep shit beyond my league" "The partners from one side and the Ministry of the Interior from the other I'm in a mess Tito" "Can't this guy be bought?" "You think I've never thought about it" "He would deny his own father" " So what's the solution?" " This o_icer must die" "And make it look like a theft" "No one but you can do it, Tito I can't I can't boss, you know what you're asking me?" "I quit this kind of work and you promised not to do this kind of work again yes but this not any kind of work" "He's ruining my life and I want you to help me, you got it?" " l'd do anything for you except this" " What the hell do you mean?" "You think you're a respected man now?" " l made you" " And I owe you for the rest of my life I wanna help you but obviously you can't understand what I'm going through" " l'm sorry boss" " You really believed this?" "It's not a request, it's an order" "You think if you leave now, it's all over I'll make your life a living hell, I'll destroy you" " What is it Refaat?" " Nothing" "Nothing, go get some sleep" " Ahmed" " Yes Ma'am" " Where is Tarek?" " He's upstairs" " Why are you all alone?" " How are you doing Nour?" "What's wrong?"

" Where would I get them from?" " You're su_ering from AIDS" "Nour, this is serious" "All I wanna know is what I'm seeing in front of me" " You don't get it - l've got news for you I spoke with my parents, you'd only have to set a meeting with them" "What?" "You don't seem happy" " On the contrary..." " You changed your mind?" "I'm so happy, it's like shedding tears ofjoy, I'm just flabbergasted" " You look kind of strange - l'm okay, don't worry I have to go now, I'll call you later" "Oh God" " But this is too much" " Reda deserves much more" "And you too of course" "You better keep them, who knows what could happen" "Auntie Nour, I'm gonna stay here for too long?" " Thanks a lot my boy" " Merely a month or two" "Then you'll go back home" "You're gonna be very happy here" "But you must go to school everyday and quit smoking" "And stop running away" "What about my mother and brothers?" "I won't be able to see them" "You will see them of course" "They can pay you a visit and you can visit them too" "But you just have to be a good boy" " We have a deal?" " Fine" "We'd better leave now" " Give me my sunglasses Reda" " If you need anything, let me know" "Hopefully I want you to be a good boy" "When will you come to see me?" "Soon I'll come visit you all the time" "As we agreed, I want you to be a man" "Notjust any man, a respected polite man who is obedient and will stay away from trouble" " We have a deal?" " Fine" " We have a deal?" " Yeah alright" " l'll call you in case anything happened" " Hopefully" " See you later" " See you later, take care" "You trust these people?" "I've known them for years" "They're poor common people and they'll know how to deal with him" "Having a new house will change him a lot" "What are you doing here?" " What do you want from me?" " What is it?" " What do you want from me?" " Get your hands o_ me" "Get out, get out, wait for me outside" "What is it?" "What's your problem?" " Why are you doing this to me?" " What have I done?" " It's like you feel I owe you" " What happened?" " The restaurant has been torn down, Refaat" " What tore him down?" " An elimination order" " And if I wanna hurt... would I use an elimination order you cockroach I'd crush you with my own feet" "You wanna say that you had nothing to do with it" "No, I haven't" "Anyway I'm gonna help you I'll get you the permits, I'll give you the money I'm the one who's in deep shit" "You scratch my back and I'll scratch yours" "Calm your nerves, come on, come" "It's my fault, you know that?" "Coz I refused to go back to doing the shitwork" "You lost your restaurant" "And I lost everything I have" "You're right, it's not your fault" "I'm sorry I'm sorry" "Aren't you gonna tell us why you're called the latino guy?" "I'll tell you everything" "My grandpa used to work as a translator in the highlands" "My grandma used to be a tourist guide for some Latin American tourists" "They met and got entangled in a passionate love story" "They got married and had my mom" "My mom gave birth to me" "That's why I'm called the latino guy" "But you can feel it from the way I talk" " Well your mom must be a gorgeous lady" " Don't mess with me" " Can it" " What Tito?" "It's true you won't work anymore?" " No Zenti, I won't" " What do you mean?" "You have the chance to work with such an a_luent man and refuse it?" "You must count your blessings Tito?" "is it a blessing to be a thiefand an assassin" "You're a thief anyways" "But you can be a starving thief" "Or a thief who's wealthy leading a luxurious life" "What can I say?" "You're a fool, you don't know shit" "And you seem to have forgotten what it feels to live on an empty stomach" "Tito, here's the janitor I want you to start the car and be ready to flee in 10 minutes" "Let's do it" "What's wrong?" "Let's do it" "Where are you going?" " What did you do Tito?" " Yeah Mr. Refaat" " What did you do?" " l couldn't do it" "You couldn't do what?" "Fine, you'll see, I'll put you back in prison I won't go back alone, you'll come with me" "Who are you threatening you sleazebag, you piece of shit I have some legal documents that would throw you in jail for the rest of your life" "What documents do you have?" "Hello, hello" "Taher Abd El Hay Sleem" "Criminal record" "Nour, how are you doing?" "Come on in, come on in I've calling you all night, but I haven't got any answer" "What?" "Is something wrong?" "is this really you?" "Nour I'm not like this anymore" "It's over" "Besides, I tried to tell you" "But you didn't wanna know" "I thought it's not a big deal" "Not a big deal?" "It's not a big deal that you're a cold-blooded assassin?" "How did you wanna marry me?" "I don't believe it" "I was a child wandering on the streets" "Hanging around in wrecked buildings, on the sidewalk besides the tra_ic lights" "A guy with no one to tell him what's good or bad, what's right or wrong" "One of those children you said it's not their fault" "Your words encouraged me I felt you might accept me" "I mean, you'd accept the guy standing in front of you, not the one in the files" "I said it's not their fault" "And we must grant them all kinds of help and support" "Before they are turned into common criminals" "But that doesn't mean I'd marry one of them" "You're right" "It looks like... I've been living in a big fantasy" "Nour" " Hello" " It's Nawal" " What is it Nawal?" " The boy didn't come back from school" "Help me, I don't know where he is" " When was that?" " Yesterday" "Please find him, he might have gone to his mom's or somewhere else" " Calm down - l'll loose my mind if he doesn't come home" " Just calm down, I'll see what I can do" " Find him for me, I beg you" "Give me one good reason for you to lead such a life" "You know what you're doing to yourself?" "You don't know" "Can you tell me why you like this miserable life?" "You find love in here now" "But it'll be gone soon" "You won't find nobody to back you up" "You must get cleaned" "Before you grow up" "And it would be too late to remove the dirt" "Captain, you know someone by the name of Abdullah El Sawaf?" " Abdullah El Sawaf?" " He says he's a friend of yours" "Abdullah El Sawaf, yeah of course, I know him" "He's an old classmate" "Are you involved in the Sharam El Sheikh project?" "No, not at all" " Why were you often seen on the building site?" " Coz Abdullah El Sawaf sought my advice" "Sought your advice?" "The same man you barely remembered his name?" "On the 13th of December you went to inspect the hotel'site lt's a very normal inspection, we didn't know these guys who came out of the blue" "They turned out to be a bunch of guys, one of them named Tito I issued an arrest order against him I'll have him here in 48 hours" "That's for the hotel, what about the firing that took place on the Suweid Road" "And the guns warehouse" "Can you tell me captain why all these accidents take place during your missions?" "These are gangsters problems, be it about drugs or guns" "Thank God I'm doing my job according to God's will" "Am I accused of something or what?" " l feel like being interrogated" " We're just having a talk lf it's a talk, shouldn't the major show some respect?" "Captain, I'm a respected man" " And I know my limits perfectly well" " Mohammed" "Major general, you need anything else?" " You may leave" " Excuse me sir" " Go ahead" " Excuse me major" " Hello" " Hey Tito" "There's word on the street that Ramzi will send you a bunch of guys to finish you o_" " When is that?" " l don't know" "Once I get more news, I'll call you" " Take care Tito" " Thanks Radi" "We're brothers, man, if you need anything, let me know" "Take care" "See you later" "You knew everything and didn't tell me anything" "No, I knew nothing" " But I had a feeling, but I didn't mind" " Why?" "Because Tito with the criminal record is di_erent from the one we know" "He's changed drastically" "Maybe you and I played a role in this change" "That's why we shouldn't turn our backs on him" "This file was sent to you, because Tito refused to go back" "I don't know how to think" "And I don't know what to do" "Go talk to him Nour" "How are you doing?" "Fine, thank you" "I'm sorry I caused you a great deal of trouble" "I thought this file you read was just an incident" "A meaningless incident" "And you made me think so" "But it's a pity, it was just a bunch of empty words" "Don't say that, you can move on without me" " It's just that I couldn't..." " Nour" "I came here to give you this" "It's a deposit of my whole bank account I transferred it to you I want you to give them to Reda" "Take care of him" "Maybe what you couldn't do with me" "You'd have the chance to do it with him" "I had hoped... I had hoped that everything would just turn out exactly like I wanted" "Wait, I wanna give you something" "What's this?" "It's the file I told you about" "Anyway, you have the o_icer's name and address" "You lost your mind, Tito?" "What are you talking about?" " Thank you Fares, for everything you did" " No problem man" "Anyway don't you worry you just take a few days o_ and everything will be just fine" "We're gonna rebuild the restaurant and you'll reach all your goals" "What is it Tito?" "Tito, what is it?" "When I was in the clink, I heard a joke for a million times lt's about a man who has been dreaming of a treasure for his entire life lt was far away and out of his league" "When he reached it, he found out that the treasure was actually the trip he took" "And the people whom he loved and who loved him back lf only all people were like you, Fares" "On the contrary, if only all people were like you" "We're gonna break into the house now" "It's not over yet" "The kid that's inside me has always wanted to live lt's not over yet" "Just now I found out" "That the past can't be wiped away" "And the past can still be lived" "It was a story I once had" "But time didn't wanna let me be lt may live or die lt may live or die"
