Original subtitles

I'll crush my enemies' bones Haters better hide

I conquer with my battle mind No need to throw a punch

Without spilling a single drop of blood

I fight for my rights with my brain And drive my enemies insane

No one can save you from me Everyone fears me

My superior intellect Makes everyone nervous

No one can save you from me Everyone fears me

My superior intellect Makes everyone nervous

I know when to strike I control the battle how I like

You owe me money Time to pay up, homie

I know when to strike I control the battle how I like

You owe me money Time to pay up, homie

I outplay you with my art of war

I tasted the bitterness of injustice But I stand tall and survive

Everyone walked on me when I was down Everyone walked on me when times were hard

Strength isn't about muscles My brain is my weapon

No need for violence I always keep my cool

War is deception, teamwork for the win

I'll win no matter what And be the king of the world

No one can save you from me Everyone fears me

My superior intellect Makes everyone nervous

No one can save you from me Everyone fears me

EPISODE NINE

Everything's smashed. External cameras damaged, drives stolen.

We have to leave immediately.

Why?

Because whoever did this might've called the cops.

If he tipped them off, they're on their way.

We lay low until we find him.

Everyone has a motive. How will we know who did it?

I know who did it.

What's going on?

What are you wearing?

I'm in my house. I'll wear what I want. What's wrong?

‐ Let's go, we have to leave. ‐ Why? What happened?

The police are coming.

Why?

Did we steal something?

No, we were robbed.

I don't get it.

The money was stolen. Whoever took it reported us, probably framed us too.

Who was it?

You have to ask? Come on.

‐ Okay. ‐ Hurry up!

God help us.

‐ Hello? ‐ Hello, Safeya. Where are you?

At work. Why?

Work? I thought you were on leave.

Yes, technically I am.

But…

You didn't take leave. I get it.

Honestly, I couldn't. I just called in sick the last two days.

I have some loose ends to tie up, then I'll be completely free.

Listen, we've been robbed.

What?

What does it mean? How?

Doesn't matter. The thief knows everything about us.

He definitely reported you.

Meaning?

Meaning if you go to the bank, they might be waiting.

‐ Hello. ‐ Hello, ma'am.

Why are you sneaking in?

What's wrong?

Me? When I walked in, I felt like you wanted to frisk me.

Anyway, if you want to search me, do it. I got rid of the… Go ahead, search.

I'm actually very disappointed in you, Mrs. Safeya.

I swear, Mr. Wasfy, my daughter is in private school.

I'm divorced, getting treatment, and I'm completely broke.

Listen, I need a painting like the one you did for Maher.

Yes? A painting?

Don't I deserve art?

Oh no! Did the cleaner leave?

Why are you tense?

Me, tense? Not at all.

God will make it up to me.

Make it up how?

Well, if the painting will take time away from work…

It will. Of course it will.

But out of respect for you, I'll count it as overtime.

I'm very grateful.

When you finish it, I'll hang it here in my office.

Excuse me, but if a colleague asks for something similar, I'm charging them.

You've got a sense of humor.

I'm not joking. I want money.

Fine, do what you see fit. I'm ready.

No, not you, of course. You're the boss.

But from them, I'll take money.

Hello. What's the problem? Who reported me?

I'm right here and everything is fine. What did you get me into?

‐ Doesn't matter. The stash at your place? ‐ What place?

The thief reported us to shut us down.

If police raid your home, any evidence?

Oh, we're screwed!

We're screwed! We're screwed!

Mr. Wasfy?

Yes?

You said earlier you'd grant any request I had, right?

‐ Correct. ‐ I want to leave.

Hurry up.

What the hell? How did you get in?

Quick, get your things and help.

Help you?

How did you get in? I don't understand!

No time to explain.

Is this all the gear?

‐ Photography gear. ‐ Anything else?

‐ No, nothing. ‐ Yes, there is.

Here you go, Sir.

‐ Is this your daughter? ‐ She was.

She's beautiful.

Guys!

Let's go.

I want to understand. Who robbed us?

Search the place.

Find this "Sayed" character.

‐ You there. ‐ What? Is there a fire?

Come with me, you idiot.

Is the theater on fire?

Easy, sir. What's the matter?

Are you Sayed Abdel Salam, aka Joker?

I don't know. I just woke up. I haven't had my coffee yet.

Besides, it isn't worth all you gentlemen coming just for me.

We found these items.

‐ What are these? ‐ Did you pull those from inside?

I know nothing about them.

There are theft reports against you.

These are the goods.

Never seen this stuff before. I know nothing.

‐ Take him away. ‐ It's the wrong guy!

‐ To the car. ‐ Do I look like I own the theater?!

It's public property.

Sir, it's a misunderstanding.

Solve it at the station.

Back off. I'm coming with you. No violence.

If we accept this, we lose everything.

We won't be able to live normally.

We'll be in danger all the time.

Or at least know what happened?

‐ Who stole it? ‐ I want to ride the rocket, Mom.

We'll all ride the rocket, sweetie. Don't worry.

‐ Hello, Mr… ‐ Essam.

I spoke to you on the phone.

In person? Come in.

I thought you'd send someone from the office.

No.

I'm handling this personally.

That's why I decided to come meet you.

I don't have new information, but I'm happy to answer your questions.

That's good.

Over a thousand plaintiffs have joined the case so far.

A thousand people lost their savings and hard-earned money, Mrs. Yasmine.

Do you realize the scale?

I understand more than anyone.

Because I'm in the same boat.

But you seem to be doing very well.

Loss isn't just limited to money, Mr. Essam.

There are things much more valuable.

Like wasted years.

Or love.

Or loyalty.

Did you love Mr. Tawfiq?

Definitely.

Despite the age gap?

Will this information help the depositors?

No.

Actually, your relationship with Tawfiq might help me.

We've taken all legal measures.

Most likely, the verdict will favor the depositors.

But I can't find the money.

Or assets to cover even a quarter of it.

Where did it all go?

Yesterday I received a press report with very suspicious details.

And total figures contradicting all our calculations and expectations.

I was isolated from these accounts and precise details.

Tawfiq had another family. You can go ask them.

Couldn't he transfer everything to them before prison?

I already checked that.

But unfortunately, no results.

Investigations showed they got nothing.

They inherited nothing but debts and burdens.

Where did the money go?

Mrs. Yasmine, do you have no idea about the details in this report?

I mean regarding Mr. Tawfiq's partners.

What I know is when you lose something and realize it can't return…

You have to look to the future.

And try to make up for the loss.

What now?

Who's the journalist who gave him this?

He didn't say.

And I didn't want to ask.

To avoid suspicion.

We'll find out who she is and who is behind her.

Be careful with your words and actions.

Whatever happens, don't contact any of the former partners.

Don't worry, I cut ties with them years ago.

Go on with your life. We will monitor the lawyer.

Okay.

‐ Sami. ‐ Yes, sir.

Assign a lawyer to represent the civil claimant in the factory case tomorrow.

Understood, sir.

I will meet the new depositors of "Future Land".

Tell me, Sami.

Did you contact her?

Yes, she'll be at your office at 2:00.

Then we must move immediately.

Welcome.

‐ Hello. ‐ Come in.

I was supposed to come meet you.

I couldn't leave the office and had court work.

No need to apologize, Mr. Essam. I'm here to help.

I asked about you at the newspaper, but they told me they don't know you.

True, I started working there recently.

Not everyone knows me yet.

Trust me, everyone will know you after this investigation is published.

Let's pray for success.

Miss Abeer.

I know the journalistic code of ethics prevents revealing sources.

It's the fate of a thousand depositors.

And about five thousand people affected by this disaster.

I might win this case.

And likely we will.

But the real obstacle lies in recovering people's money.

How can I help?

Miss Abeer.

The report you gave me contains information I couldn't find myself.

Even though I hired an army of lawyers who strove to find evidence and info

on the depositors and employees.

So how did you get these documents?

And who guided you to them?

Do you think I'd risk exposing such an important source to legal trouble?

I believe you wouldn't have come to meet me if you didn't trust me.

And I think what motivated your source to give you such valuable info…

is the same motive driving me to recover people's money.

Miss Abeer, I don't seek fame or glory.

That will happen inevitably when we win.

All I ask of you is to go back to your source and talk.

Tell him I wish to meet him unofficially.

I promise, his identity will remain secret.

Good evening.

‐ Good evening. ‐ Welcome.

Welcome.

Sorry, we'll enter from the back door. You understand the circumstances.

‐ Okay. ‐ Come in.

Do you live here?

Without anyone knowing.

‐ Have a seat. ‐ Thanks.

So who are you?

ZIAD TAWFIQ IBRAHIM SAEED

The information you seek won't help you.

Unless under one condition.

You have to cooperate with me.

Cooperate in what exactly?

Want to return the money?

Isn't that what you want?

I want his name cleared.

I'm absolutely certain legal methods won't work in our case.

How will it be done then?

Mr. Essam, you've worked on this case for years.

A verdict will convict "Future Land" of embezzlement and fraud.

But where is the money?

I'll review your info and add it to the file.

There is no physical evidence.

No papers.

No documents.

No recordings, nothing at all.

And my innocent father is in jail.

Proof is you found no assets or funds in my accounts.

On the contrary, he went bankrupt trying to repay the victims.

Despite bearing full legal responsibility for what happened.

And his signature on all documents.

And management decisions that led to this.

And don't forget, there are witnesses.

If you only see the truth through papers and documents…

then our talk is useless.

But if you want to restore rights without wronging anyone…

you're in the right place.

What do I need to do?

I want the depositors' files.

I want to know all their details.

Names, residences, and social backgrounds.

The exact value of their deposits, and deposit dates.

‐ Why? ‐ To form a team from them.

You mean a gang?

And we'll recover the looted funds from the real thieves.

You didn't come to me because you knew I'd come to you.

And then convincing you becomes much easier.

"When others come to you willingly, it's easy to dictate terms."

"The Art of War."

"The Art of War."

Miss Abeer.

Meet Mai, my assistant.

When people decide to take justice into their own hands…

chaos prevails.

Ultimately, the law will take its course.

Until then, we will recover all stolen money without any interest.

Believe me, the plan will go perfectly.

Any news?

Yes.

This is Shady.

He's my pick.

And the first I'll try to recruit.

I want you to read his file well.

According to what I read, I think he'll agree.

Good morning, Sir.

‐ Did Mai explain it to you? ‐ And I agree, I'm in.

I can't wait to start working.

Honestly, I know you're gathering others.

Want to cast them with me?

It's my specialty. Yes, I'm an actor.

I can impersonate and embody.

Honestly, I have strong people skills.

Listen, Sir. I can do whatever you want, don't worry.

You had him watch us then?

When I started selecting, I needed help.

What he knew about you was basic info, nothing dangerous.

But after you met him, he learned things he used against you.

You mean it's our fault in the end?

What happened is your fault.

I hacked the traffic system to delete a ticket Shady got.

He asked for a small favor, and I did it. What's the problem?

He reported you.

Don't rule out he got the ticket to trap you.

Yes, but it's not dangerous. Just a simple favor.

The favor is manipulating government systems.

It's forgery, punishable by three years.

How did you know he was the thief?

Because of the hard drives.

There were other fake drives and only Shady knew their location.

And they were stolen too.

Meaning this genius tells everyone info the others don't know.

So if anything happens, he'll know the rat's identity, right?

What about me?

I don't know what he knows about you.

But caution is necessary.

Caution?

I lost everything because of caution!

You must stop doing this, you're endangering us.

No, this isn't the time. Not the time at all.

True.

You're right.

Everything is gone anyway.

Our effort and the danger we lived through recently,

was all for nothing.

Problems are normal. We must know what to do.

Oh boy.

‐ Plus the guys… ‐ Which guys?

The ones I owe money to. Who else?

Shady took the money and left. Why would he report us?

To stop us reaching him.

We must reach him.

Didn't you say you have plans and contingency plans?

We are in a disaster now.

Let's get Sayed out of this mess, then we'll see what to do.

Oh boy! Oh boy!

Oh boy.

Sir, my client knows nothing about the confiscated items found in the theater.

The people whose IDs you found in wallets were actually there at the theater.

And my client happened to be on vacation.

Weren't you on vacation, Sayed?

I was on vacation.

I never saw these items before and know nothing about them.

And we have witnesses confirming this, sir.

Thank you, sir. Sorry for the trouble.

I missed you guys so much.

Especially you, buddy.

What's that smell, Sayed? Were you sleeping in a sewer?

True, prison is full of innocent people.

What innocent people? Aren't we getting the stuff back?

Yeah, eventually.

Prison is hard, guys. I almost forgot your faces.

You were jailed for only two days.

Yes, but felt like an eternity.

You were always on my mind, Aunt Mai.

Didn't we agree? No 'Aunt'.

We must go, I left my daughter in the car.

Can I be excused for a moment?

Is this what you promised me?

Is this running like clockwork?

Just a hurdle, we'll overcome it.

Depositors started getting their money.

What about the forged documents?

If your team is doing this with your knowledge, it's a crime.

I can't get you out of it.

No, it's over. Won't happen again.

I can't believe you this time.

Just so you know, I can't do that again. Agreed?

Agreed.

I can't tell you what I saw in prison.

Indeed.

Nothing is more precious than freedom.

Except health, privacy, and peace of mind.

And money, power, good food, and a clean bed.

And women, that's it.

That's it?

What's this, Sayed? You listed everything and left nothing out.

Do you know the hardest part of prison?

When the cell door closes at night.

And you know you won't leave before morning.

Then you think of your loved ones.

And you ask yourself, are my loved ones thinking of me?

What drama series is this, Sayed?

You're a thief, Sayed.

Sayed Joker the Crook.

You've been jailed many times before. So it's no big deal to you.

Are you engaged?

What?

No.

So why are you here?

You're with him in everything.

I work with him normally.

Normally?

Does your family know?

Just kidding.

I've known him over 10 years.

We had a thing.

Or almost did.

But it ended.

Ended?

Yes, ended.

Nothing binds us but work.

Seriously, girl?

You suppressed this for 10 years?

And he has no clue.

What are you saying, Safeya?

Reminded me of my relationship with Raafat.

- Who's Raafat? - Raafat, my ex.

But it's over and I understand now.

And you will too, God willing.

But when you have a son…

We were together in college.

With whom?

‐ Raafat, my ex. ‐ Yes.

I suffocated him, talked to his friends and relatives.

Told his sisters until everyone knew we are together.

So what did he do?

Reported you, surely.

I wish.

He proposed to another girl.

But I didn't shut up.

What did you do?

Befriended, stalked, smothered her.

Talked to her family and friends.

Gave her advice so he'd love her more.

My advice was wrong, surely.

For example, he hates loud girls.

I made her raise her voice with him.

‐ He hates waking up early. ‐ I made her wake him up.

At five AM. And talk a lot. He hates talking.

You told her to talk a lot and not let him speak.

He calls and she answers the next day.

I taught her arrogance is useful.

But I, on the other hand…

I was the innocent angel and obedient servant.

Until he got fed up, dumped her, and fell into the trap.

Then what?

Once he got rich…

he married her as a second wife.

No, I feel sad now.

Great advice.

Want me to do like you so he does to me what Raafat did?

‐ Who's Raafat? ‐ Your ex.

May he burn!

Don't be stupid.

The field is empty.

Get in there, attack, defend. It's your only chance.

What are you talking about?

Talking about people with no feelings.

No emotions.

Yes indeed, they've multiplied lately.

Let's start now.

‐ Come on. ‐ He really has no feelings.

God help you.

I can safely say we can go back to normal.

What? You surely understood me.

The lawyer told me Tamer's case is closed. They couldn't prove anything.

I hacked the site and fixed the glitches, or I'd be in trouble.

As for Safeya, it's clear Shady didn't have time to move against you.

Thank God, the result is safe.

Very safe.

Is this place safe?

Not before we find Shady.

What do you know about him?

Before acting, Shady was a con artist.

Con artist? How so?

The kind who target foreign tourists, especially older ladies.

They ruin our reputation globally.

Plus harassers.

And Sayed.

I had a hustler friend who went to India.

He lived with people who walk on hot coals without burning their feet.

And eat stuff so they never get hungry.

The filling food story is useful, Sayed.

Just two spoonfuls.

Okay guys, thank Sayed for this great addition.

‐ Clap for him. ‐ Certainly.

‐ Thanks. ‐ Congrats, Sayed.

Try to focus, Sayed. Try.

Please don't speak at all before we tell you the plan.

If you have any questions, don't ask.

Okay.

Shady put his earnings from that job into "Future Land" and lost it.

Surely. It's dirty money, must be lost.

Please Safeya, don't comment either.

He's right, yes.

He lives alone.

Unmarried, lives away from family in a small apartment in Zeitoun.

Owns only the car that got the traffic ticket.

Before I hired him, he met bad company and got addicted to drugs.

Great resume. Qualifies him to work with us for sure.

Not much different from your resumes.

What do you think?

I shouldn't gloat, but…

What did we agree on?

Sorry.

Shady vanished after stealing the money.

For the last two days, no one's seen him.

Since he wrecked cameras and stole hard drives,

we won't know how he stole the money.

I can hack street cameras to see where he went.

What if the place's cameras were connected?

I would've pulled data from the cloud.

Did you connect them?

And pulled all data to this drive.

Great!

We must recover this money.

It's the only way to recover the rest.

Without it we can't enter the auction.

Or trap Hashem El-Faham.

Five days left for this auction.

I'll assign each of you a task.

Do it, and by morning we'll know how to reach him.

Just please, when we reach him, leave him entirely to me.

What will you do?

I'll think of…

What's wrong, Tamer?

‐ Is it contagious? ‐ I don't know.

Working with you is very comfortable.

‐ I'm optimistic, Mr. Soleiman. ‐ God willing.

Welcome.

Yasmine, my wife.

Yes, certainly.

Mr. Taher El-Nadi.

He needs no introduction.

Mr. Taher loves the "Jasmine B" project.

I looked at the layout.

Honestly, it dazzled me.

Thank you very much.

We agreed he buys 49 percent.

I was hoping for a bigger share, but Mr. Soleiman is tough.

Yasmine doesn't want anyone else controlling the board.

She wants the majority.

This benefits everyone anyway.

If the layout dazzled you,

wait till you see her ideas and hear what she wants to do.

Something beyond imagination.

‐ Certainly. ‐ I don't agree.

And I can't pay 11 or 12 billion pounds alone.

Why? You have more than that.

I do, sure.

But I have many things I want to do.

Plus, this is my entire capital.

How do you meet someone like this without telling me?

I did this to make you happy.

Telling you or not, what's the difference?

Consider it a surprise.

Not among the people the target demographic trusts.

We offer a higher level.

We'll rebuild his brand then.

Make people feel he's raising his standards.

I dealt with him before, good business.

Took two villas from him. One in Zayed, one in Settlement.

Very good work.

I don't want partners.

Why bring Hashem El-Faham then?

Why give him a share?

Though I don't know the nature of your relationship with him.

But I agreed to what you want to please you.

I expected you to agree frankly.

If we need partners, Taher is better.

At least he'll pay.

Otherwise, impossible.

What do you know about Taher El-Nadi?

‐ Good morning first. ‐ Brief me.

Taher in real estate development?

Yes.

‐ I can find out everything easily. ‐ I want to know fast.

And we must deal with Hashem El-Faham.

We will.

What do you want?

I want to get rid of him.

I never want to see him again.

What are these surprises?

If I knew prison would bring you, I'd have confessed ages ago.

How are you, Jaser?

As you see.

Don't worry.

Every problem has a solution. I'll get you out of this.

‐ Really? ‐ Surely, we're old friends.

Listen, Jaser.

You know I partnered with Yasmine.

Came to gloat then?

For your info, Jaser Radwan never gives up.

Relax, don't misunderstand me.

Yasmine's keys are all in your hand.

You discovered her.

You can stop her.

Why would I do that?

Reunion?

How can we do this, me here and you out?

Listen, Jaser.

I know how and why you got in here.

A rookie mistake, and you're the master of masters.

Tell me who did this, and I'll act.

I'll get your rights back.

I'll get you out in weeks.

I'll do what you say.

But I want to get payback myself. Agreed?

Agreed.

This is the place, sir.

And this is what I wanted to know.
