- That's good.

- Isn't it?

That was good.

Did you see...

No signal.

Mother!

Do you forgive him or not?

I don't.

His death hurt me too much.

Maybe tomorrow, but not today.

It broke my heart.

His blood's still warm.

She won't forgive.

I think she's in shock.

Raise your head.

Satima.

I'm listening.

I am Abdelkrim's driver.

I have a message from him.

He can't do anything anymore.

It's over.

Tell him...

that Amadou's death really hurt me.

I didn't want it to happen.

Since the sun came up this morning...

and I am still alive,

God has granted me one more day,

and what's to happen,

I accept.

I'll miss only one thing.

A face.

My daughter's face.

My wife's.

I'll ask God...

if you have children...

that He help you...

understand my pain.

I don't fear the death you're giving me.

It's a part of me already.

Since you claim

you follow Allah's law...

do it.

I'm ready.

You married her daughter Safia

to one of your men

without her consent

or her guardian's presence.

I'd already asked...

my brother here

to submit that case to you.

That act...

was improvised during the night...

under cover of darkness,

which is legally unacceptable.

Regarding her daughter Safia...

whom you married without her consent

to one of your young men...

Sister, what's the name of the one

who forced her to marry him?

His name is Abu Jaafar.

She says his name is Abu Jaafar.

That's why

I preferred to come myself

to explain the situation to you

regarding that agreement...

so that you can clarify your position.

That's right.

We married Fatima --

Her name's Safia.

...Safia to Abu Jaafar.

It was a legal...

marriage,

based on Islamic law.

Regarding her guardian's absence,

we are the guardians of all deeds

since we arrived in this territory.

We married her to young Abu Jaafar...

taking our inspiration

from the words of the Prophet:

"If you're satisfied

with someone's faith and character,

give him a bride."

Abu Jaafar is a pious young man,

a mosque's dove, a fighter.

He's perfect.

Based upon that, we gave him a bride,

and it was a flawless wedding.

That kind of event occurred

more than once in Timbuktu.

It upset people

and brought

much frustration and fear.

We haven't noticed

frustration or anything.

We follow Allah's law

and the Sunnah of the Prophet,

may peace be upon him.

We deliberated...

and we are acting

according to the law.

Mecca is that way.

I know.

My daughter and her mother

are over there.
