Beauty and the Dogs Page #5

---

Sometimes, I getaway,

and sometimes, they get close to me.

I might let them eat me.

I'll become a zombie and rest.

If I ever share such a video

on Facebook,

you should be worried.

I'll have become a zombie.

I wish we'd met in better circumstances.

Too bad.

I am jinxed.

Youssef Dawn,

you are under arrest

for assaulting a public servant.

Don't touch her.

So now you're qualified!

And you hit yourself too!

- Tell it to the judge.

- You're the law!

I should've let the guys beat you up

at the Kasbah sit-in!

You're a worthless piece of sh*t!

- Where are you taking me?

- To jail.

The whole country is a jail.

Don't let them scare you,

don't give up your rights.

They can't do anything.

Go on, move!

Take his phone away!

Let go, let go!

- Who is it?

- Who's there?

- Madame?

- Mariam?

- Are you alone?

- Mariam, unlock the door.

Open up!

- Are you with them?

- I'm alone!

- What are you doing here?

- Please...

You can't lock yourself in my office.

Instead of arresting them,

you arrested Youssef!

- Get out.

- Where to?

I won't!

I don't want to see them anymore.

- Get out and stop shouting.

- I'm not leaving.

- You're not allowed to be here!

- They're outside! They'll get me!

Out.

There's nobody out there.

Come see for yourself.

Come on, take a look.

There's nobody.

Come on now.

Have a seat.

Don't be afraid.

A colleague is coming, OK?

- Where are you going?

- Home.

- What do you mean?

- My place.

Madame, for God's sake...

- I did what I had to do.

- I'm begging you, please...

- I've done my part.

- Don't leave me alone.

I really have to go.

- I'm begging you, please...

- Let go of the bag!

I'm sorry.

I didn't mean it.

Sorry...

You are a whore.

Please, don't leave me alone.

Please, I'm begging you.

I just want to talk.

Don't be afraid.

- We need to talk.

- Shut up.

Leave me alone!

Leave me alone!

Hello?

Madame Nahla Hachani, journalist?

This is her number, right?

Madame Nahla?

You gave me your number at the hospital,

do you remember me?

I know it's late,

I'm sorry for calling you now.

I'm at the police station,

behind the Palace.

The two policemen who raped me

are outside.

I locked myself in the toilets.

They arrested the boy who was with me.

No, I don't have a lawyer.

Please, don't leave me alone.

Stop! Let me go!

Let go]

- Listen, child, don't be afraid.

- Don't touch me!

- I have two words for you!

- Enough!

Drop the charges

or this video goes to your family.

Give it to me!

Take your hands off!

You killed her!

She's not dead.

The b*tch is acting.

Up!

Get up!

Stop it and get out of here!

Wake her up.

Wake her up

so we can all go home.

Wake up.

Please, wake up.

Don't be afraid.

We want to help you.

Do you need a doctor?

Do you want some water?

We are sorry.

Bad cops. We arrested them.

They have no respect

for the institution they work for.

They will go before

the Police Complaints Board

and they'll get

the harshest sanctions.

- They'll be an example for others.

- No doubt about it.

Your phone's ringing.

You can answer it.

Put it on speaker.

- Hello, Najla?

- Put the speaker on.

- Mariam, can you hear me?

- Oui.

Where have you been?

I haven't stopped calling you!

Didn't We agree about the dress

and the bag? I Want them back!

I sew you leaving with that guy.

Did you sleep with him?

Answer and tell her

that you'll be back soon.

Hello, Najla?

I'm on my way.

No need to call me back.

Will you release Youssef?

He didn't do anything.

You're worried about him?

A real man wouldn't have left

a cute girl like you alone with 2 guys.

- He didn't have any choice.

- Yes he did!

He should have fought for you.

He went to get money

from a nonexistent account.

Did you know that your Youssef

has no bank account?

Sign this.

No bank account?

It's a set up.

He was using you.

He's using you

to stain the reputation of the police.

Sign this, please.

What is Youssef setting up?

Don't answer her.

State secrets.

Here, sign this.

This is a waiver!

What did you expect?

- You told Lamjed you were dropping it.

- I'll never give you that satisfaction.

What's going on here?

Aren't we going home?

You were going to drop it!

No! I want to see them

in jail like dogs!

We told you we arrested them!

And they'll go before the judge?

Judge and court,

eyewitnesses and investigation...

Such a case will take at least

three years of your life.

You will be going

from court house to court house.

Have you got somewhere to stay

apart from the dorms?

If there's a session

during the holidays,

how will you get to court?

Public transport?

And your family?

A case like this needs a lawyer.

A big shot lawyer!

That will cost a lot.

Do you have any money?

Can you pay him?

Not to mention the scandal.

That's the worst part.

You and your family will be pointed at.

What man will accept you then?

Please, have a seat.

Here, sign here and let's all go home.

I'm not signing.

Think about it.

I want to press charges.

Very well.

Let her sign her deposition

and we can all go home.

Give me a cigarette.

Lighter.

Have a cigarette.

You can smoke here.

Enjoy it.

Here, smoke!

Go on!

What is this?

What do you mean?

It's your deposition.

You want me to sign

for things I didn't say?

Don't you have any decency?

Any limits?

You're throwing it in my face?

I would rather die than sign this.

Very well.

Madame,

in that case we're staying here.

We're staying.

OK.

This is the report.

What don't you agree with

in this statement?

You wrote I was committing adultery

with Youssef when the police came.

That's not true?

You spoke about adultery!

They said I was married,

that he was my boyfriend,

and this was called adultery.

Why would they say that if you weren't

in a compromising position?

To scare me with prison,

but they're the criminals!

We know what they did.

They've been arrested.

What does that mean?

What are you up to?

Where is this going?

You should be ashamed of yourselves!

So I'm dishonest

and I fabricate evidence?

Great!

Mounir, it's OK.

Be patient.

She's just a kid.

Forgive her.

I'll do it for you.

Very well.

You don't like the report?

We'll start again.

But first, we'll tear this one up.

Here's your report.

Chedly, start a new one,

and let's see

if the beauty queen is satisfied.

Here we go again.

But I ask the questions

and you answer them.

Question:

what where you doing with Youssef

when the police car stopped?

We were... walking on the beach.

No.

Your "fianc" Youssef told us

you were in a more intimate position.

You might say... much warmer.

Answer him!

We were kissing.

They were kissing!

They were all over each other,

tongues and all!

Write down:

"We were found in an indecent position,

"committing an act of obscenity

"in an obvious affront

to public decency."

Affront to decency?

According to the law,

that's how we found you.

Do you have a problem

with the law of the land?
