What, can't you see we have a guest?

Go bring some tea.

Don't think that the sisters here

are professionals.

No, they are as pure as flowers.

Now you wait here,

I'll open the door.

The one you pick will be your wife.

I have to tell you that some of them

are more expensive than others.

Why are you getting upset?

I'm going now,

you stay here by yourself

and look as much as you like.

Alright?

Are you upset about the price?

That's not a problem,

Whichever one you choose,

she's on the house.

Are you happy with that?

What are you doing, brother,

do you want to kill your sisters?

Muslims, help!

Give them shelter

and some new clothes.

Hello, Morshed.

Tell the Master

Morshed would like to see him.

The Master orders you

to go to his house.

The Master invites you to enter.

It's not easy to tell you this.

The Caliph has ordered

that you leave the school.

You have stepped over the limits.

I had authorization from the Caliph.

The authorization was

for the prostitutes,

but you executed a man.

I was following our doctrines,

those women are like prostitutes for us.

Because of this they've figured out

that our group was mixed up

in the punishment of those sinners.

We're guests here and only have

Permission to teach the doctrines.

We receive our permission only

from the Caliph. No one else.

And now the decision of the Caliph

is to interrupt your Jihad.

There's a risk

that they'll close the school.

This would mean your death

and exile for all of us.

My death is the key to paradise.

You said that

the soldier of God has no fear,

then how can the Caliph have fear?

Silence!

You are a part of my heart,

but if you try to break my faith,

I'll kill you with my own hands.

Go. Go and repent.

Go and punish yourself.

Here are the playscripts

that you wanted.

You're soaked.

Who is the murderer?

Tell me.

Morshed.

He was in love with me.

Don't look at me like that!

Morshed would have given me

all the gold in the world.

With one word from me,

he would have offered me the moon.

Does he control

the prostitution market?

I was the first one to get out

from under his control.

If I survive,

Morshed will have lost his power.

Up until now I've managed

to escape him,

or maybe he didn't want to kill me,

and the others were punished

on my account.

You have to help me find the proof.

Come.

You can't leave in that state.

You have to revive yourself.

Come inside.

Do you have a woman?

My wife is no longer with us.

You're a mess, it's easy to see that

there's no woman to take care of you.

Here, put these on.

What are you looking at?

I had a husband, very rich!

He would get angry very quickly.

But he was a good man.

I've never met another man like him.

He had five wives.

He kept saying, let's go to Arabia,

you'll be my favorite.

But no, I told him,

I am stuck to this land.

Come on, they're clean, put them on!

They've destroyed Muslim houses.

They've killed men and boys.

They've molested the women

and girls of the Muslim villages.

Why? Just because we're Muslims.

They kidnapped my sister.

I've been searching for my sister

for many years.

That's my little brother

in the photo.

We were separated many years ago.

Eat something, you'll feel better.

I'll go and prepare the pipe.

I'm not used to so much hospitality.

A man is like the beads on a rosary

and a woman is the thread

that holds them together.

- We have to go now.

- Can't we wait a while longer?

- Why do you want to stay?

- Because my heart...

Calm down, you fool.

I let you run wild for a second

and you go crazy.

Take this.

When they attack you, you won't

have to stand there like a potato.

What kind of a policeman are you!

You have repented.

- I have thought.

- Thought?

I am eaten alive by doubt.

No, brother,

doubt is the enemy of faith.

If the Caliph is afraid...

No, it's not fear, it's politics!

Politics?

A soldier of God doesn't care

about politics!

No, brother, I'm not listening.

Doubt is a worm that,

once it has entered the soul,

can only be destroyed by fire.

Only death can answer our questions.

I have interceded for you

with the Caliph.

The Caliph forgives your sins.

Prepare yourself, you're going to

where you'll get your answers.

Sins? What I did was sinful?

Wait, Master! You must help me!

God chose you:
you'll be a martyr

and will go to paradise.

But I'm eaten alive by doubts!

I don't hear you.

I don't want to hear you!

They control the whole market,

they're smugglers.

They have foreign ties.

I've been out of the country once.

Outside?

Morshed brought me back.

You said before that

you wouldn't want to live outside.

- Did I say that?

- Yes, probably just another lie.

There's not a lie in me,

I'm an open book.

How did you end up

doing what you do?

I was left all alone

with my little brother to feed.

Why do you want to know

all about me?

- Because I'm interested.

- I'm interested... Of course!

The usual story.

No, I don't mean it like that.

Because you have something I lost.

So why don't you marry me?

What?

Take me with you.

I'll go anywhere with you. God knows

I would be a good wife for you.

You said

you'd never leave this place.

So?

If you're serious,

you have to ask me to marry you.

- Do I have to ask you now?

- Yes, it's not difficult.

Close your eyes and say it.

You should never postpone

a beautiful thing.

I don't know what,

but something's going on.

- What do you want?

- I must see Morshed.

Can you understand English letters?

You must learn this book.

- Habib!

- Stay here, I'll take a closer look.

Habib, there's something

you should know about me.

About you?

OK, we'll talk about it later.

Calm down!

It's a sin.

If Caliph orders, it's not a sin!

Listen carefully, brother!

You've caused so much trouble

I'll be happy to kill you!

You will stay in the school

until your passport is ready.

Nobody must see your new face.

What's going on?

Someone is spying on us.

If anybody asks you,

say you're one of the new ones.

What do you want from me?

You'll find out later.

Master!

Oh, it's you!

Hello.

I asked for someone

who knows other languages,

but right now I'm busy.

We'll see each other tonight.

Why is the door closed?

The Master wants to see

the new brother.

He told me to bring him to him.

God willing,

you know how to keep secrets.

Yes, I try to.

I know that this is forbidden,

but doubt is an even worse sin.

For years I've been sending

my best disciples as a gift,

but now that it concerns

my most devout student,

I am taken by doubts.

I'm sending him to die

on the path of God,

but it's not easy

to recognize the path of God.

May God forgive me!

I want to understand some things.

Translate their words for me.

Is it OK?

"The soul is the battlefield

between good and evil.

Faith and desire are in continual

struggle with each other

Let your faith grow,

and let it guide your soul

so that it can do wonderful
