EPISODE SIX

I ENERGY METERS INDUSTRY

Wait for us outside.

I have been working for 25 years.

No one has ever dared to defraud me.

You defrauded me twice, two days in a row, of four and a half million dollars.

You know, Ghassan what it feels like to be sucker-punched?

This man blindsided me and took advantage of my trust.

I would love to destroy you.

But I would love to see how you plan to get yourself out of this mess.

Hello? This is an emergency.

You are not a victim! You tried to exploit everything you could!

You are greedy.

Where there’s greed, scammers thrive.

I won't argue with you on this.

That is not the point.

Let us get to the point.

Where is the money?

If you want your money, call the cops.

Say that to the cowards who run to the cops when scammed.

What will a con artist like you do?

Kidnapping and threats won't get you anywhere.

I will show you what I can do.

Think twice before you move! I know all about you.

You are a liar! You know nothing.

What about the car shipment that came in last week?

These cars are stolen with tampered serial numbers.

If you don't let me out, my people will report you within an hour.

You'll be gone for years.

How many years?

What is up, Ghassan? Doesn't your boss have an attorney?

If you were just selling instead of stealing,

it's be called trafficking in property from a felony or misdemeanor.

Under Article 44 the penalty is three years in prison.

If you were involved in the theft,

it would be a whole new crime. Starting at seven years in jail.

I know you took part in the crime and planned it.

You have no evidence.

Yeah.

I can report Mansour Hita and Ali Adnan.

After two slaps, they will confess

you sent them to steal from the customs garage.

They might also admit the bribe you paid the customs officer.

This crime is a three-year jail term.

Even if the judge was lenient, expect around ten years.

But if he takes your criminal record into account,

which he will,

you will get 15 years in prison.

They will close the showroom and seize the cars.

Do you see this guy?

See the skill and knowledge he has gained.

You are a gem.

What a shame to fall in today's grind!

No one would benefit from your knowledge.

What did you say would happen if I don't release you within an hour?

My partners would report you

- and then… - Ever wonder how I got to you?

You think some scamming slackers

will save you in such a mess?

Once a cheat, always a cheat.

He'll sell you out the first chance he gets.

From what I know you scammed them and didn't pay.

The moment I flashed the cash, their eyes lit up.

How did you get to me?

Thanks to the late,

Dalal,

I used to call her Dodo.

I stormed out of the precinct.

I was fuming with anger,

so I went to the villa and wanted to tear it down.

The painting

was hiding another old one.

It was signed by the artist, her name shining on the canvas.

Since the artist is officially registered under the same name,

it wasn’t that hard to get to her the next day.

Good evening, great artist.

The path of fraud is never smooth.

Back to our point,

are you gonna tell me where the money is?

Or not?

Open the book.

Is this a lesson or what?

Sort of.

Okay.

First chapter.

- Making plans? - Exactly.

Alright, mastermind.

Read the first line.

"The art of war is vital for the state".

No, skip the introduction and the five elements.

Read point number 18 on page four.

"War is based on deception,

If you're truly strong, dare to show some weakness.

If you're active, show some laziness.

If you're near, keep your distance.

If you're distant, appear to be near".

Your point is?

We know everything about Jaser.

We know how we'll get our money.

All we need is a little push

to reclaim our rights and finish him.

Will you let him think he won?

While in fact, he'll be standing next to the grave we're digging for him.

What is it?

Mr. Jaser, an officer wants to see.

Are you kidding? It better not be the same officer.

Let him in.

In here?

Yeah, let him in.

Try something new.

Are you Jaser Radwan?

- I'm Mother Najwa. - Watch your tone!

Help me, Sir! They kidnapped me, beat me and tied me up!

They electrocuted me and burned me with cigarettes all night

and when I told him I'll call the cops he said "I don't care".

Why is this man tied up? Set him free.

No one is going to untie him, you cheats!

You think you can pull the same stunt as last time?

Do you think I'm that stupid?

Ghassan, handle them!

Who exactly are you trying to handle? Are you crazy?

Arrest these men.

Wait, is this for real?

I'm sorry, Sir. It was a misunderstanding.

This guy.

You bastard!

- He's a fraud! - Zip it.

Believe me, I didn't know who you were.

Ghassan! Ghassan!

See how I saved you?

Drive fast.

The best thing about Jaser is his overconfidence.

So, it's easy to set a trap for him and even easier for him to fall into it.

The key is to make him believe he got there by his own wit.

- How? - I'll help him get to me.

I'll leave clues in the villa, each one leading him straight to me.

The painting, a wallet with a card or a bag with an address.

Anyone Jaser contacts, must give him my address.

- Why? - For the stolen cars in the showroom.

Will we report them?

We'll steal them.

I love operations. I'll call my self Mr. Operations.

Faster, you psycho!

All good. It is gonna be alright.

This is what got me into all of this trouble.

Solve the problem, Saddiq.

I told them it was a minor misunderstanding.

What you did with the cop wasn't acceptable.

How could you say "Mother Najwa"?

Also the weapons at the warehouse were an issue.

Can't get out today.

It doesn't matter.

I warned Saeed and Mahmoud not to leave Mansour's cars in the showroom today.

The custom's vehicles?

He knows everything, as if he was with us.

As if we bribed him to give it to the employee!

Ensure it's transferred, Saddiq.

Once I get out, I'll find out how this man was watching us.

Who of our men is working for him?

- I don't know how this happened… - Save it for later!

Go! Go!

As you please, Mr. Jaser.

Yes, Mr. Saddiq.

Which cars?

No, we've already moved the cars.

Jaser sent a truck, and we loaded it.

Okay.

- You know the address, right? - Sure.

Alright.

Here you go.

- Amazing! Wonderful! - God bless the prophet.

Let's say we pulled all this off.

What are we gonna do with the stolen cars?

We'll sell them.

I'm sorry. It looks like I misunderstood something.

We're supposed to meet to give back what's owed.

And now we'll steal stolen cars and sell them?

Why not report and return them?

Is it okay for us to steal?

That's what crossed my mind.

We'll sell them, pocket the cash, then return them.

- This is magic! - Not at all.

Jaser doesn't sell the stolen cars to regular people.

He only sells to one customer.

Shahin Ragab.

He has "Shahin Auto" showroom.

Based on the calls, he is expecting the car shipment from Jaser.

All good?

- Perfect, thank you! - You're welcome.

Hello, police?

Everyone, stay still!

Confiscate all the documents and cars outside.

Come on, quickly!

After the smuggled cars were confiscated,

prosecution orders suspects detained for car theft and trafficking,

45 days in custody pending the case.

First.

Not yet.

What else?

Jaser stole 6.25 million dollars from the depositors,

what's left with us after what we spent,

6.55 million dollars.

- How much's left? - We have extra!

Awesome!

Awesome? We don't want anything extra!

I don't get it.

He means he'll donate it.

That'll make up for some of his sins. Will you donate it to the mosque?

No, we'll return it to him.

You must be joking, right?

Why would I? We are not thieves.

We want what's rightfully ours, nothing more.

He's a thief. That money has to be from fraud, theft, or something like that.

Not our problem. That's between him and God.

I'm a thief. Give it to me. Or split it among us. We'll carry the sin.

I won't do that.

What do you want?

Will you return his money?

- Yes - You're very respectful Sir.

I have never encountered such a gentleman!

What's wrong fellas? He has the right to do so.

We're not a gang of thieves out to steal people's money.

We are restoring what was taken.

- Really? - Yes.

Give me the money, and I promise I'll give it back to Jaser myself.

I swear to God!

- Believe me, I can't believe it. - Mine?

- Yes - Why are you babbling?

May God protect you.

- Told her what we agreed on? - Yes.

I told her this amount was a deposit for sinks, pipes, and tanks,

that never arrived.

She said, "Thank you, you're a gentleman".

I said, "Someone's property has to be returned".

She said folks like me are rare.

She also told me about someone who stole money from her.

She paid him a deposit, and he stole it.

She filed a report, but the case was shut since he moved away.

She said all that?

She slammed the door.

No, but I imagined all of this because she is my favorite celebrity.

You offended her?

Was that why she slammed the door?

She should slam the door.

Play her song please.

Oh beautiful rose in a garden

Impossible! I like this Ziad a lot!

No, what did you think? I don't mean that kind of love.

It's impossible.

Love him as you want.

I'm no one's guardian, neither his nor yours.

Is your father's sentence related to your brother?

My father owned a construction firm.

He took money from people and banks.

- When he couldn't pay… - He made your brother the guarantor.

- Yeah. - Then he ran, leaving your brother alone.

Your mom was hit hard and succumbed to the illness,

so she can forget.

I've seen a lot,

and lived through a lot.

Don't let my looks fool you.

I'm an expert in evil, deceit, and betrayal.

I'd tell you where your father is,

to turn him in and free your brother.

I'm willing to do it for free.

I want nothing from you.

All I want is for you to stay away from us.

I'm overwhelmed with happiness when you visit.

And I'll be thrilled to see you free.

It's okay, I'm used to it.

Are you saying that to comfort me?

And to comfort myself.

Anyone bothering you?

No, we don't use that word here.

And they will bother me if they hear you saying that.

But I'll take it as my big sister worrying about me.

I do whatever I can to make the days pass.

I know. I do too.

It'll all pass, God willing.

‐ God willing. ‐ God willing.

Tell me, how is Mom?

I don't want to burden you.

She forgot me?

No, she remembers you.

She forgets you're in here.

Good. Thank God.

What have you and Ziad been up to?

We're still trying.

I want to know everything, but that's not possible in here.

I want to ask you,

do you see Sabreen?

I brought all the food you asked for. If anything is missing, let me know.

Don't change the subject, Mai.

Did she get engaged?

Just think about yourself.

Forget everyone on the outside.

You're right.

I had a feeling.

I don't know what I was hoping for.

She hasn't visited in ages, and you change the subject every time.

I was scared to ask you.

I was sure of the answer.

It's okay. God will make it up to you when you get out, God willing.

God willing.

I forgot to tell you, they assigned me to the prison kitchen.

Really?

I'm finally doing what I love.

I've always wanted to be a chef.

What's wrong?

If you had the chance to get out, but had to report on Dad,

what would you do?

But we don't know where he is.

I found out.

Where?

‐ What will you do? ‐ Where, Mai? I don't know what I'll do.

What do you think?

I think you were wronged.

I was with the lawyer and he said the appeal is soon and likely…

Impossible to get out without returning the money he squandered.

Dad wouldn't survive prison, Mai.

Can he stand seeing you imprisoned in his place, losing your future?

What will you do?

"The Art of War" lists five types of spies.

The most dangerous is the double agent.

Works with both sides.

Benefits from both and says what he wants.

Only he knows who he's telling the truth or lying to.

I want Dad's location.

And I want to know who's next after Jaser Radwan.

What do you intend?

Nothing at all.

I'll let them destroy each other.

As long as they stay away.

And I'll sit back, watch, and be entertained.

Who's next?

Hashem El-Faham.

He stole 18.75 million dollars as I told you.

900 million pounds.

Despite Hashem's gentle appearance, he's much more dangerous than Jaser.

Hashem was the mastermind behind the massive "Future Land" scam.

He works in real estate and owns lands all over Egypt.

But in reality…

He deals in antiques.

Good Lord, we're getting into deep water.

We're no match for them.

You aren't a match for them.

We're bigger than them.

What we did with Jaser Radwan is just a sample of what we can do with Hashem.

What's the plan?

Hashem loves antiques and paintings; he considers them an investment.

Antiques sold in auctions, even if not legal,

are the best way for him to launder his money.

Exactly.

We'll get him both ways,

antiques and money laundering.

Okay, Khaled.

‐ Go ahead. ‐ Excuse me.

Come in.

Did you call for me?

Why do you think I called?

The accounts, surely.

Surely.

If we don't check our accounts, we'll be lost.

Haven't you heard the saying, "He who calculates well, sleeps well"?

No, but I want you to sleep well.

Go ahead, I'm ready for the interrogation.

No, that's unreasonable.

You shouldn't get upset when I talk to you.

But I will talk. Do you know why?

I want to make you happy.

I want to achieve what you want to do.

But I won't be able to this way.

Which way?

There are many things, many items.

For example, the marble.

You ordered top-grade marble.

Even in the small bathrooms.

Definitely.

Why? For the Coast? There are nicer and cheaper options.

Go on, go on, because I'll answer you at the end.

As for the paint, you ordered premium materials.

Even in the buffet and warehouses.

The warehouses where the workers work?

I studied this well.

It won't raise the resale value at all.

It will only raise the cost.

And the landscaping too.

For example, you ordered very rare and very expensive trees.

Fine.

I didn't say we shouldn't get rare trees.

But where do we put them? We'll put them in visible places like the facades.

As for other areas, we can bring cheaper trees.

And what else?

Many things and items. If you add them up, it comes to millions.

If not billions. It's pointless.

We can bring nicer and cheaper things.

Did you notice, Soleiman?

Notice how often you used "cheaper"?

You know what that means?

It means you don't understand me, or the project, at all.

No, I don't understand. I don't get this approach.

Definitely.

Because "Jasmine B" won't have anything cheap.

We won't do anything to save money.

It's a place where dreams come true.

A place unlike any other in the world.

And that is the concept we're striving for.

I don't want any buyer to ever think of making upgrades one day.

Because simply, there are no upgrades.

There won't be a place like this anywhere in the world.

So we won't build anything to be cheap,

or do anything to save money.

Yes, but luxury isn't limited to expensive things only.

Luxury is offering something valuable to the buyer.

Not waste and useless excess.

There is nothing useless.

When we start selling, you'll see for yourself,

who the target of this strategy is, and what the sales look like.

‐ Here. ‐ Thank you, Sir.

There is an extra zero. Is it intentional or a mistake?

No, intentional.

Any information you bring me about Yasmine especially her project "Jasmine B",

will command a high price.

You've always been generous.

If you can get your hands on any share of this project,

even one percent,

You'll earn much more than any other project.

Do your best then. And if it happens, I'll give you a generous reward.

Find out all the project's secrets, like violations, bribes,

or document manipulation.

I'm afraid Yasmine might go rogue, make a mistake, and drag me down with her.

Don't you know Yasmine, Sir?

I came to tell you she has her affairs in order and is working well.

That's why she guarantees success.

She doesn't want any partners.

Exactly.

Her husband wants in.

In short, if you want to participate, get on Soleiman's good side.

But watch out for him, he isn't easy either.

God knows where disaster might come from.

Wasn't Jaser enough?

What?

What happened to Jaser?

He was jailed.

Who did this to him?

The Ghost.

‐ Who? ‐ The Ghost?

‐ That's strange. ‐ Hear the stranger part, Sir.

The one who robbed and jailed Jaser returned $300,000 to him.

After he scammed him for 6.55 million.

I don't understand.

His wife was at home.

Someone knocked.

She opened it, found a man leaving money then taking off.

So it's not just a scam then.

Must be something besides money.

Anyway, Jaser is a scumbag, and he deserves it.

Did you ask for me?

‐ Did Soleiman arrive? ‐ No, but he'll be here soon.

What do you think of him?

‐ Me? ‐ Yes.

He loves you.

Just that?

Is that your assessment? That he loves me?

But it's the truth.

He doesn't know what to do to make you happy.

I know that.

But what distinguishes him most, in your opinion?

What distinguishes him most is…

He's rich?

He has a lot of money?

It's just fate, my child. No one chooses poverty.

And no one chooses to be bad.

Or a failure, or stupid.

Most people are born with their traits.

So we shouldn't be dazzled by anyone.

Contentment is what matters most. Many rich people are unhappy.

And there are poor people in bliss.

Ever seen a happy starving person?

Have you ever met someone who can't afford his daughter's treatment but is happy?

Poverty is weakness.

Money is power and freedom.

Anything else is just nonsense.

Soleiman and his kind know this.

They know well,

that any drop in their wealth means a drop in what distinguishes them from others.

That's why he must continue resisting.

Let him resist then.

We'll see who wins in the end.

Mr. Soleiman arrived and is asking for you.

I was coming up to you.

Yes, Soleiman?

Did you want me?

I want to talk to you.

But,

I don't want you to get angry with me.

Okay.

I really didn't understand the project.

I don't know what we should do or how we should act.

Believe me, I don't.

I'll prepare a presentation.

I'll bring the engineer executing the project.

Listen to him,

and I'm sure you'll change your mind.

You are my wife and my love.

You're the most precious thing I have.

Be sure I will do the impossible to make you happy.

What is it, Sayed?

What is it?

Do you know, Amoura, how I learned magic?

‐ From the internet? ‐ What internet? Did we have it then?

I'm from the rotary phone era.

I learned magic from a very skilled magician.

He used to do parties.

I saw him with my dad, God rest his soul,

At Sayeda Zeinab ceremony.

I was dazzled by him.

I told myself, wow, he's a real magician.

He breathes fire.

And walks on glass without hurting his feet.

And that girl he cuts in half then puts back together without her dying.

I wanted to learn magic.

Not to stand on stage and have people clap for me,

but to solve my family's problems.

When Father told me to leave school,

I said great, handed to me on a platter.

I went and begged him,

to teach me magic.

Thought we'd go to the desert,

and stand in the open under the moonlight.

He'd teach me to control spirits.

But it was all sleight of hand.

You know what, Amoura?

When I stood on stage,

and saw people's looks,

and their applause and amazement,

I saw it was real magic.

I felt like a magician.

True, I couldn't solve my father's and siblings' problems.

But with this trickery, I could give people a beautiful illusion.

Make them forget their lives, poverty, and worries.

Even if for a little bit.

Stealing is sleight of hand too.

Big difference, kid.

How can you compare happiness,

to treachery and misery?

You're getting philosophical, and I'm too tired to think.

Amoura!

Sit down.

I found a solution.

Like magic?

Like magic.

What is this now?

I want you to stay with me.

What do you want from me?

Amoura.

I want you to leave this exhausting life.

And start a new page together.

I was offered a chance to take a risk, and endure a little.

This might be what changes my life and yours.

But promise to stand by my side.

Because then,

nothing else will matter.

I'm with you, but explain to me.

Four million dollars?

That's what they stole so far according to him.

He claims to be a Sheikh preaching Halal and Haram.

And he's a professional thief too.

Listen, play along with him and find out everything.

I'll tell you what we have to do. Agreed?

Agreed.
