"I was at the mayor's We searched the house" "Soldiers were surrounding it" "Maybe the soldiers didn't search well?" "What?" "You stupid man!" "Animal!" "Did you ask the villagers?" "Yes." "No information" "I think you must arrest the mayor" "Mrs. Hind, there is no proof against the mayor" "The mayor is a weasel" "He must have helped them escape when he learned you were coming" " Is it possible?" " Yes" "He's mounting the people against you and tells them they must not be governed by foreigners" "A traitor this mayor!" "We are foreigners now?" " Permit me Rifaat bey!" " What do you want Mrs. Hind?" "You should set up a permanent post or a station here" "There must always be a force present at the village in case of an incident, we will inform you" "Yes, yes, chief, I agree with her" "You, shut up!" "Mrs. Hind, you are right." "I'll set up a permanent post at Ain El Joz" "But please let nobody know They will kill us" "Don't worry Mrs. Hind..." "We are all eyes and ears" "But you Bahri, you are a bad spy" "How could you say that?"

"We can't do it as long as Bahri and Mrs. Hind are free" "We will kidnap them!" "I told you we should do it" "These spies mess all our plans up." "They must stop spying on us" "We have to get rid of them" "What do you think Mr. Mayor?" "Hajj is right, but Mrs. Hind's inn is full of soldiers" " I have an idea!" " What?"

"Mirvat..." " Yes" " Begin your dance" "O God!" "O God!" "What?" "Do we kidnap her too?" "Rebels!" "Surrender!" "The rebels are disguised in soldiers" "I have nothing to do with that!"

"Ain El Joz is under surveillance" "WE must watch the mayor closely" "And if he is found plotting against the Empire" "We must arrest him and torture the villagers and send them all to Safar Barlek" "Yes sir, Nazem Pacha" "I want Abou Ahmad's head as soon as possible" "What have you decided?" "No" "We need piece and quiet" "No piece and quiet." "We must destroy the prison to save them" "The soldiers surround the prison" " We will attack by force" " Impossible!" "It's possible."
