Death for Sale Page #4

Synopsis: Tetouan, the Atlantic port city in the north of Morocco. Three young men decide to rob a jewelery store. They are among the hopelessly unemployed street population of Morocco's provincial cities, common thugs in the eyes of many but bound by solidarity and friendship. They see the heist as a means to break out of a cycle of poverty that weighs on their destiny like a life sentence. Malik, a dashing 26-year-old man, is in love with Dounia, a cabaret dancer. He wants start-up capital to help rescue her from a life of prostitution and make a new future for them as a couple. Allal, the toughest of the three, wants fast cash to stake a solid entry into the business of drug-smuggling. Impish high-school dropout Soufiane, the young­est of the group, has his own motives for wanting to kill the jewelery store owner. But the plan goes awry and the men's destinies splinter.

I don't want it anymore.

It's 10 a.m. and he's already made

at least 40.000 dirhams.

Let's do it this afternoon.

Why wait two days?

Imagine we come in the morning

and find nothing.

Getting the gold

is already pretty good.

How's my mother?

She cries about you.

But she's getting used to it.

Do people say

I'm a bad son?

Damn them all.

People get the most pious

about other people's sins.

I've found some firestairs

going up to the terrace.

We're lucky, it's an old building.

They built well back then.

They thought of everything,

even an exit for robbers.

We park the car out back

and get out over the terrace.

What car?

How else will we get away?

You can't even drive

and you talk about cars?

What did you think your part was?

You'll drive. - Where to?

The Bahamas. We'll go and visit

the tomb of Tony Montana.

Go slow. Watch out for cops.

Say:
The cops!

Who else causes chaos

in this country?

The cops...

Enough said.

We should have taken his money.

What money?

He who wants to beg

must go to the great mosque. Right?

Money for petrol, knives...

Knives? What for?

Nothing. To be on the safe side.

Allal, we've got the car.

What?

What?

What? - Get out.

Soufiane, get out. - Malik!

Soufiane, get out.

Are you deaf? Beat it!

You see who you're with?

You've become blind and deaf.

Wake up and finish it.

Hit her if you want to.

Then get out.

Here are the numbers of the notes

I paid her with.

Open her bag and check.

I'm not the first, nor the last.

She'll throw you out

like an empty beer can.

He knocked.

He said you'd sent him.

Then he pushed me.

And he raped me.

He wants to split us up.

Everybody does.

Let's get out of here.

Theft, murder.

A Christian might

even die.

Dounia! That's the best one yet!

Just the right ring tone.

I want you to charge him.

Ah Allal, you dared to do that.

I never want to see him again.

Answer.

And tell me everything.

Two tickets for Marrakech,

tomorrow at 10 a.m.

How much? - 160 dirhams.

You're completely crazy.

Go on, copy me.

Recharge this card.

And keep your phone on.

If I'm not there at ten,

leave without me.

Don't wait for me.

May God help you.

Call this breakfast?

Is this orange juice?

You call this orange juice?

There's nothing decent

to eat in this place!

Calm down, mister.

All I ask is a decent orange juice!

You're talking to the boss.

I'm sorry.

Excuse me. Excuse me.

Where's Soufiane?

Where's Soufiane? - Let's go!

National Police.

You are surrounded!

Stop!

His mobile.

The lift!

I was scared you'd be gone.

I was scared you weren't coming.

Did you get it all? - Yes.

The coach has left.

The next one is in 15 minutes.

We can't travel like this.

It's too risky.

I'll put half in my bag

and take half on my person.

Hurry, the cops are coming.
