-The Sheikh is gone!

-Where did he go?

-That way.

He was tied to the mule!

If you've seen him,

why didn't you stop him?

How could I know?

He was perfectly tied up!

He was tied!

I tied him up myself last night

before you went to sleep.

What are you saying?

We were supposed to look after him!

He can't have gone too far.

Are you sure you tied the mule well?

Sad!

I didn't find him there, either.

There is no sign of him.

Look over there!

Forget it.

Stop!

We won't find him.

Don't worry, Sad.

The Sheikh knows the way.

It's our mule!

God is greatest!

God is greatest!

So...

Where is Sijilmasa?

I don't know,

I thought it was going to be there.

I don't understand.

What are we going to do?

Let's cut the distance short

through the mountains.

Are you kidding me?

Let's go.

Let's go, in the name of God!

Say, "Glory be to God."

Glory be to God. We are many now.

Everything is all right.

Today, tomorrow...

Everything is all right.

Glory be to God, everything is all right.

Everything is all right, glory be to God.

Glory be to God, everything is all right.

Be careful with that rock.

Slowly.

Go on.

Be careful, Pot Face.

Go on.

Ahmed!

We are in the mouth of a sleeping giant!

Keep that in mind!

Mohammed, what's your job?

I do anything.

What's your daughter's name?

Her name is Ikram.

Ikram?

Ikram.

Go.

Can't she speak?

She was born like this. It was God's will.

There is no god but God.

Is her mother alive?

She's dead. May God rest her soul.

-Is she your only child?

-Yes.

-May God help you.

-Amen.

Sad. Sad!

I'll handle this.

May the peace be upon you.

Where are you going?

You don't seem to be from around here.

It's none of your business.

None of my business?

Fine.

Have a nice trip.

Where are we going to sleep?

We'll go on.

It's cold...

Better cold than something worse.

-Move on!

-Come on!

Come on, move!

It doesn't want to cross.

Do you think it can cross?

No, it can't.

It's difficult.

Ahmed! Have you forgotten what I told you?

When you don't know what to do,

do this invocation.

Why are you looking at me?

Stop looking at me. All right?

It's you who is looking at me!

Get away from me!

Mohammed, come here!

Come on. Sad, quickly!

-What's going on?

-Go look for a way.

You climb this mountain

and Mohammed the other one.

Don't stay together. Go!

Calm down. Which way do we go?

That way. Straight ahead.

But there isn't any path there.

There is one.

Go with God! Run!

Mohammed!

Mohammed!

Is there any path?

There is a path we could take!

It's a tiny passage but we can go through!

I'm coming down! I'll show you the way!

The mules won't go that way.

They will fly.

Don't you have faith?

What are you saying about faith?

Faith.

Do you have faith? Are you praying now?

As always.

Don't you see my eyes fixed on the sky?

I'm praying right now, standing.

I pray sitting...

I'm always praying.

Always.

Hurry up!

Mohammed!

Are you all right?

They are here!

Come on!

Be careful!

Sad!

-Sad!

-Hide!

-Where is Mohammed?

-Get back!

-Mohammed!

-Ahmed!

Mohammed!

Ahmed!

-Shut up!

-Where's Mohammed?

Ahmed! Help me here!

Ahmed!

What do we do with the Sheikh?

At least I got you out of there.

Are you angry with me?

You didn't get us outofanywhere.

It wasn't me who told Mohammed

to climb the mountain.

I can do it better.

It's hard for me. It's my first time.

I'm still a beginner.

If you do it well, I'll do it better.

Trust me.

Trust me.

If you do it well, I'll do it better.

We've been heading east

for a long time now.

It should be there.

Those two birds...

If they fly away, we'll bury him here.

If they don't fly, we'll keep going.

Ahmed.

Ahmed, where are you going?

I'm leaving!

I'm fed up with this!

So I have to take care of this alone?

Ask Pot Face to help you.

Bury him wherever you want!

Ahmed, come back!

It's not about burying him here or there!

We didn't do anything big in our life!

It's the first time!

And you know it!

One of the birds flew away.

That must have a meaning.

Don't get angry.

What meaning?

A meaning!

It has a meaning.

It has a lot of meaning.

I don't want

to go on with this any longer.

You should have thought about it before.

You can't back out now.

Pot Face...

Tell me.

I think highly of Sad.

Then let's go.

Let's go back with them.

But his path is different from mine.

I did more for this Sheikh

than for my own father.

Let him bury him here!

Why doesn't he bury him here?

Because his wife asked us

to bury him in his land.

And we know the way to get there.

Our plan was not

to bury him here like a dog.

-I'm tired.

-Tired of what?

Don't be afraid.

Strengthen your faith in God.

Ahmed.

Ahmed.

Who are you?

Ahmed, get off me!

What do you want?

Go!

Get the girl!

Hurry up!

Let's go! They don't have anything!

Let me go!

Come on!

Sad.

Sad!

Sad!

Get lost!

See what you did?

Go away!

Leave!

Get lost!

You are not a man!

You are not a man, don't you know it?

You are not a man!

You are not a man!

One thousand times, you are not a man!

I could tell you a thousand times!

A thousand times!

Listen!

Listen carefully to what I'm saying!

Listen to me!

Have you seen what your invocations did?

I'm going to find her!

You can do as you feel!

Stay here until they get you!

Your invocations weren't sincere!

Look where you brought us!

Everybody will die in the end!

One is already dead!

The other one was kidnapped!

You are not a man!

One thousand times! You are not a man!

Your invocations weren't sincere!

What you have started is not finished yet!

THREE:

SAJDAH:

PROSTRATING POSITION

Why do you drive so fast?

Let him breathe. Move!

I saw it all. He threw himself in our way.

Give him some water.

I saw it when he got hit.

He's a junkie.

He's not a junkie.

He's just a little sick...

It's okay. Get up.

Try to stand up.

He wanders around the neighborhood.

Come on, stand up. Let's see if you can.

-Give me your hand.

-He is not conscious.

Are you all right?

Are you okay?

-I want to go with the guys.

-Now sit here.

Have some rest. I'm coming back.

I want to go with the guys.

Your friends are coming now.

We'll go all together.

Ahmed.

Come with me!

Let's go, it's time.

The night is coming,

they won't recognize us.

Look, I've got my sword.

Do you see it?

Come on! Let's fix this mess!

The night is falling!

Come with me, my friend! Are you deaf?

Give me your hand! Jump!

Ahmed.

Ahmed.

Are you here?

Yes.

Are you here?

Yes, I'm here.

We are near Sijilmasa.

Beyond China.

Where?

Sijilmasa.

Heading to the castle

that has seven walls,

each of a different metal.

Inside there are 14 mountains

and six navigable rivers

that flow to the ocean.

There are 15 doors, tall like 50 men.

And eight towers,

guarded by archers with golden arrows.

And you may ask

how we'll face these challenges...

It's easy. If you do it well,

I'll do it better.

Let's continue, brother,

eternity is waiting for us.
