Who wants to overthrow the President?

Do you want to say anything?

I'm getting impatient.

I want to get back to the game.

Go on.

You going to spit out his name?

What's his name?

His name.

We are starting a major movement of reconstruction.

This is the first collaboration

between public and private sectors.

The level of competitiveness achieved by Egypt

on the international market

gives us the means to invest in our infrastructure

at the level of road networks,

communications, agriculture and water...

This will be the largest International School in Egypt.

I guarantee you,

in a few days, you will be proud of the results.

Sorry to disturb you, sir.

I have a question, if you allow me.

Did you know this woman?

Absolutely not.

May I ask you to look again?

Are you sure you've never seen her?

Remind me your name?

Commander Noureddine Mostafa.

Noureddine.

The Police are supposed protect honest people, not harass them.

Is the car ready?

Yes, sir.

Why were the Police looking for you?

I don't know.

You don't know?

I'm taking you back home.

Stop!

Someone got murdered at the hotel.

A woman.

I saw the murderer.

I will show you.

This is the man I saw.

I told him, $10,000 for a pilgrimage? That's insane!

Are you trying to pull my chain, Egyptian?

He said, "It's cheap to find a pure soul like that of a baby".

It was worth it and I prayed for him.

God looks over you.

We'll take leave, Chief.

Stay back, Nour, I want to talk to you.

What?

You went to see Hatem Shafiq?

He is related to the murdered singer.

I'll pretend I didn't hear anything.

Didn't I tell you to let it go?

Yes.

Nour, you are my nephew,

but a simple call from these people and

I can't do anything for you.

He is a friend of the President's son.

Look after yourself.

Shafiq has agreed to see me.

But...it could be a trap.

I will demand for $1 million.

$1 million?

That's way too much.

Salwa...

Demand $100,000, keep it small...

If someone gets killed, that would be me.

Don't you trust me?

I trust people.

We will have to share the money three-ways.

Okay.

No problem.

We don't have internet.

I just want Facebook.

That needs the internet.

The internet is on Facebook?

No, the opposite.

What are you confusing me for? Are you kidding me?

No sir.

Where are you going? Put me on that f***ing Facebook.

I'm looking into it.

Gina, the Tunisian singer, is waiting for you.

Calm down.

Good evening.

Good evening.

My friend is gone.

I don't know where she is.

She was to meet someone at the Nile Hilton.

Since then, she is missing.

What's her name?

Lalena.

The singer?

Who was she meeting?

A friend.

You know something?

Your friend has been killed.

She had pictures.

Intimate photos.

I don't want anyone to see them.

How much do you want?

We don't have any photos.

$20,000...is all I have.

A lady like you should not be here.

Your name and address, please.

We are done here. Show's over.

Sir.

Saleh.

Fadl repaired the satellite dish, it works like new.

Finally!

Strange enough, it picks-up only Italian channels.

What?

There will be only Italian channels.

Italian...is good.

Is that your cousin?

Yes.

Hello?

Who is this?

Commander Noureddine?

Yes.

Sir.

Where is the men's?

Open it.

I was with her that night.

He kept the negatives.

He will frame me for murder if I don't pay.

He considered himself her owner.

His agent, Nagui the Tunisian.

You are a member of the Parliament. You benefit from immunity.

Not against the scandal.

The case was closed.

I will re-open the investigation.

What do you expect of me?

When you came to question me,

I could've broken you, finished you.

I never asked anyone for help,

but I need your now.

I loved her.

And she loved me.

She wanted me to leave my wife.

She was going to get the negatives.

How did you know her?

From the Club Solitaire.

Wearing gold is forbidden for men.

It is said, on the Day of Judgment, gold becomes hot iron.

But for some, gold is worth the punishment.

Where's the negatives, Amir?

A policeman took them.

A policeman?

Calm down, Nagui.

I'm telling you the truth.

I believe you, Amir.

Love one another, live in harmony.

You will all enter Paradise.

Each one of you here, have a duty to realize

and dedicate your life to it.

Even to youself,

without the entire Muslim brethren,

I swear by God that if you live for these duties...

I pay 180 pounds a day to rent the car.

Give them to me and I will install the meter.

Theese rotten people who govern us, tax us to death

and they get treated abroad.

We can't even afford cigarettes.

But for a gentleman like you...

Did you see what they did to the young man in Alexandria?

Those cop f***ers beat him to death. Did you know?

Son of a b*tch!

The smart guys on the Internet published photos.

There will be a demonstration on January 25th.

On Police Day, to rub it in.

We will show those pigs what the people think of them.

I'm going there.

And you, will you go?

There's no choice.

I'm part of the pigs.

The people of Alexandria are all a**holes and mythos.

This young man was surely a drug addict. Otherwise, it's impossible.

They wouldn't have hit him for no reason.

Inspection. Open up.

Welcome.

Hi beauty.

Look who's here?

You're okay?

What an honor!

What's up?

It's okay, as you can see.

I'm going to sell this shack. They can put up a mosque.

Do you know what makes me happy, Noureddine?

Tell me, do you know a certain Nagui?

Mac?

No, the artistic agent.

Artistic?

He has two girls working who think they are artists.

They pickup VIPs and he takes pictures.

Clic-clac, he snaps. Clic-clac, he snaps.

It's his business. He uses an old camera

and he makes it more troublesome with the negatives.

Where can I find him?

He has a club, the club...I forget what.

The Solitaire Club?

That's it.

You see, you know everything.

What do you want of him?

I want to sing.

Is there any way to get a drink?

You are at home. Cmon, let's go.

Don't worry, I'll pay.

Congratulations, Chief.

Bravo! Congratulations.

Congratulations.

Goodbye.

What is that?

Congratulations, Colonel.

Colonel?

Go ahead, try it.

You are a genius and I'm an idiot.

What did you get on Shafiq?

The singer was his mistress and he fears a scandal.

He says it was her agent who killed her.

Of course it's him.

The Prosecutor will re-open the investigation,

he will be released for 100,000 pounds.

We will share the rest. Easy money.

You can buy a Peugeot to replace your metal cage.

God willing.

I'm really proud of you.

Thanks to you, we deal directly with VIPs.

Soon you will be in this chair.

What did you ask?

He's ok for $1 million.

You are crazy? What if he followed you?

I told you to ask for 100,000

You will have to share that with us. Understand?

Good evening.

Welcome, sir.

O you, lonely traveler

O you, lonely traveler

Who passes in front of me

Why are you leaving me?

Why do you leave me?

Alone with my regrets?

You went away
