Original subtitles

I'll crush my enemies' bones Rivals better hide

I conquer with strategy No need for a fistfight

Without spilling a single drop of blood

I fight for my rights with my wits And drive my enemies crazy

No one can save you from me I'm feared by everyone

My superior intellect Keeps everyone on edge

No one can save you from me I'm feared by everyone

My superior intellect Keeps everyone on edge

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

You owe me money Time to pay back, homie

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

You owe me money Time to pay back, homie

I play you with my art of war

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

Everyone walked over me when I needed them Everyone walked over me when it got hard

Strength isn't in muscles My brain is my weapon

No need for violence I always curb my impulses

War is deception, teamwork wins

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

No one can save you from me I'm feared by everyone

No one can save you from me I'm feared by everyone

My superior intellect Keeps everyone on edge

EPISODE 11

Hey, Younis!

Come help me with the bags.

Soka.

Soka.

He's finally gone.

I hope Uncle Hamed calms down a bit and drops this acting nonsense.

He keeps talking about "Adeeb" where he killed his father and married his aunt.

It's exhausting. Every time he forgets, that idiot boy puts it back in his head.

Listen carefully. We have to end this acting stuff.

Don't mention it to him until we finish "The Shark" operation.

We make some money, then he can do whatever he wants, movie or series.

Hamed's waiting for his big break.

What break? Don't you dare utter that nonsense in front of him.

I'm telling you because I know your mind wanders sometimes.

Acting is Boss Hamed's Achilles' heel.

It's his ultimate dream.

Whenever it's mentioned, he completely loses it and acts like a child.

He's our leader. He must be fully focused.

The money he wished for is now in his hands.

‐ We have to act smart. ‐ Okay.

Agreed, my friend.

Is this all of it?

Let's make sure, maybe something's left.

Let's go.

Check there carefully.

I'm looking.

It took an hour to pack bags?

Hello.

What's the news?

I have the full itinerary.

I'll send the car specs and who's inside.

Okay.

‐ Don't forget… ‐ Don't worry about him.

I'll execute once we hang up.

Hate to end the call with you.

I'm hanging up.

‐ Good evening. ‐ Good evening.

I'd like to see Mr. Nagi.

‐ Who should I say? ‐ Yasmine El-Nasharty.

Yes, Enayat.

Mrs. Yasmine El-Nasharty is here.

Show her in now.

Welcome, welcome.

You honor us with your visit.

You light up the office. Sit.

Why bother? I'd have come to you anywhere.

What we discuss shouldn't be said at home.

Or over the phone.

You're safe here. You're a guest of Nagi Abu El-Ela, and at your service.

He'll be in Alexandria shortly.

Okay.

And at 11:00, he will be at this address.

And you don't want him to arrive?

No, of course I want him to go.

But I don't want him back alive.

This is a big request.

And you are big too.

I understand. We are at your service, but you know these tasks require men and…

I'll give double the fee when done.

We are at your service, Ma'am, for free.

Enayat.

Come quickly.

What would you like?

Yes.

Call Reda the Crocodile.

Immediately.

Don't worry about it at all. Consider it done.

May God keep you as my support and never deprive me of you.

I know how upset you are about the Taher Nady case.

Because you refuse the principle of partnership.

‐ I swear to you that I… ‐ You're doing your best, my dear.

To achieve what I aspire to.

And this means a lot to me.

What a pity, a huge loss.

Why the pity?

I regret not meeting you 30 years ago.

30 years ago, I was a little child.

You know exactly what I mean.

You really whetted my appetite for the field.

Honestly, things have escalated and lost their charm.

I realize we are crossing legal boundaries.

Actually, we aren't. We just want to take back our rights from a bunch of criminals.

As for illegal substances and killing…

This burden is beyond us, or beyond my energy specifically.

So I think we should stop here, and God will compensate us for the rest.

I expected obstacles, but not to this extent.

Okay.

I've enjoyed your company lately.

Despite my heavy losses.

But it's okay.

It's fate.

You know? If someone gets me close to money…

I can switch it for newspaper using my skills.

And if I get you close to newspaper, can you switch it for money?

Newspapers are gone. The world is digital.

If I get you online news, can you turn it to money?

What do you want? Shut up.

‐ Peace be upon you. ‐ And you.

Wait a moment.

Sayed gave me an idea.

‐ Me? ‐ Sayed gave you an idea? Really?

Yes, definitely.

What will you do?

Safeya, can you counterfeit dollars?

Yes.

Not exactly.

Doesn't matter. It just needs to look like dollars.

The top bill is real, and underneath is just white paper.

Like we see in movies and series?

Exactly like in the movies.

And where is your role in the idea?

I am the muse.

What will you do?

"Lure your enemy with desires, then hit him with the unexpected."

But your enemy wanted money and already got it.

No.

Not money.

He wants something else entirely.

Quiet!

What's wrong, girl!

Girl, what's the matter?

Guys, someone tell me what's going on.

Hey, Sattoufa!

They're shooting a movie, Mr. Hamed.

A movie? Soka! My time has come!

‐ Hey you. ‐ Hands off.

Calm down a bit.

Are you shooting a series or a movie?

"The Widow and the White Powder".

You mean "The Virgin".

We're shooting the sequel.

Listen, who is starring with you?

Karim Abdel Aziz and Karim Mahmoud.

Both of them? And who is the lead actress?

"Yasmine Abdel Aziz".

You gathered the whole Abdel Aziz family.

Listen…

Don't you need actors?

Unfortunately, no.

What's this?

‐ We're very busy, more important things… ‐ Come on, gentlemen.

Don't hold me back. Let me take my shot.

I want absolute silence on set!

My day is being wasted.

But it's not daytime!

I heard that phrase on a movie shoot next to my house.

You'll expose us.

Where are the actors, gentlemen?

I'm the actress, Sir. I just left my trailer.

‐ Strange. ‐ No one brought me food and it's freezing.

It's been a rough night.

Did you memorize the scene, artist?

Yes, may I review it with you, Mr. Director?

Great. What's the name of the actor playing the drug dealer?

"Hassan Ibrahim".

"Hassan Ibrahim" plays the dealer.

He'll bring you the contraband… the "White Powder".

Why name the movie that? It's a metaphor.

After your drug dealer husband was killed…

The police surround the place and the dealer flees with the money.

You're doing the deal for your husband.

And that the deceased sold everything he owned before he died.

He intended to make it his last deal before repenting.

I swear that's exactly what I'm thinking, Soka.

You'll receive the powder from him, two tons of contraband.

Why don't you direct instead of me?

"Two tons"? That's a joke.

What's this? Voices raised on my set?

Do you want me to fail? I won't finish this work.

‐ Calm down, Sir. ‐ You there.

‐ You there. ‐ What are you doing?

‐ I won't continue. ‐ What's happening? Can't you hear?

She's telling you "two tons".

Yes, what's the problem with that?

Excuse me, Sir. You are a great director, but I have a note.

‐ Go ahead. ‐ How will the lady carry all that?

‐ Valid question. ‐ Yes.

‐ And where will she get all that money… ‐ Exactly.

Besides, drugs aren't sold by the ton.

Queen Elizabeth.

Bless you.

How much do you have?

I have ten million dollars.

‐ Oh my! ‐ Okay, a decent amount.

Okay, good amount but not enough for two tons. How much does this buy?

‐ About 90 kilograms. ‐ 90 kilograms.

What's the price per kilo?

Are you sure, Sir?

Sir, credibility is everything in this profession. I'm an expert in the field.

‐ Are you sure? ‐ Positive, Sir.

So you're trying to make me fail. Where is the writer?

‐ Calm down. ‐ Where is the writer?

I'm lying right next to you, Sir. What is it?

I wrote "two tons of contraband", and that's wrong.

The correct amount is "90 kilograms", Sir.

Sir, the audience loves exaggeration.

Over-the-top works succeed before they air.

I wrote "two tons" instead of "ten tons" because of the production company.

Execute the order. Just 90 kilograms.

Yes Sir. Where is the scene?

90 kilograms.

I think you should join us to correct any similar details.

Bring two chairs for the guests.

‐ We can't… ‐ You wait.

It would be my pleasure, Miss.

Don't you need actors?

You'll hand him the ten million dollars. He'll put it in the trunk and hand you the contraband.

Only to find out in the end it's Salep powder.

‐ So I lose my mind and end my life. ‐ Exactly.

And this is the divine punishment for anyone who neglects their work.

Not because it's illegal then?

But because he didn't honor the deal with the merchant.

Come on, gentlemen. Where is the actor playing the drug dealer?

There was a problem, Sir. We disagreed on the fee, so he quit.

‐ Why? ‐ Budget ran out.

Budget ran out on the first day of shooting?

You definitely want me to fail.

We tried repeatedly, but he demanded a huge sum.

I was wrong to rely on you.

We need a big name to bring in revenue.

What big name? I can barely remember his name.

He is trending in the Gulf.

Trending in the Gulf? Is he a side of Kabsa?!

‐ Do you want to paralyze me? ‐ Calm down, Sir.

I am the true star maker. Any new face I cast becomes a star.

What if I bring a new face to play the drug dealer?

And I'll make him sweep the scene here and in the Gulf.

And he'll declare, "I am the highest paid in Egypt."

What a crazy idea!

Lie down, Haj Mohamed.

Go to sleep.

Where do we get this new face now?

This is a major risk.

Me!

Yes.

Me, Sir. I'll be the new face.

No, that's very difficult.

It's a complex role. If it weren't, I'd give you the chance.

I don't care. Watch me in a demo scene and I'll dazzle you.

Very difficult… What's your name?

I am Hamed Abu El-Rous.

That's a compound name.

Exactly, Sir. A complex name for a complex role.

Actually, you really fit the role.

Did they give you the script?

Yes, Sir. I learned it by heart.

But allow me to add my improvisational touch.

Improvisational?

Honestly, it's hopeless.

Come on, guys.

Come on, silence.

I want complete silence.

Silence these people!

Whoever moves, I'll put a bullet in his head!

Don't move!

No, Sir. Sit down, you're the director.

Act as if nothing happened.

This is scary.

Can the gentleman join us in the shoot?

Me?

I hadn't thought about it, Sir, but…

Step aside.

What's wrong, Sir?

Director!

In most TV shows, only the hero speaks.

He's just an extra.

What does "extra" mean?

‐ What do you mean extra? ‐ Secondary actor.

Of course, you are a special star.

And he is secondary. Come here, secondary.

I am secondary.

Come on, go ahead.

Let's start the demo scene!

‐ Should I start? ‐ Yes.

Listen well, Mr. Bashandi.

It's true I look like a charming lady, and a playful woman.

But when it comes to my children, I turn into a ferocious beast.

I forget I'm a woman, I forget I'm a widow.

And I forget I'm playful.

My money is ready. I hope you keep your word…

And bring me the required amount, whatever it is!

You are walking a path…

This path doesn't suit you.

Beauty is truly fleeting.

You wear a mask on your face.

Hiding all the base and detestable instincts behind it.

Hiding all hunger, thirst, and pain behind it.

Have you never asked yourself what I can do to you?

‐ What? ‐ I can tear you apart and devour you…

‐ I can chew you up. I can do anything. ‐ Really?

All you thought about was feeding your kids from illicit money, from drugs and blood.

You could have, you could have spent lawful money on them.

You could have eaten and eaten… But what can I say?

What do I say?

"My body is tired and I'm done…

I chatter to myself inside, but I'm silent on the outside.

‐ The train of life passes! ‐ Year after year, and I am as I am…"

‐ My money is ready. ‐ And the drugs are ready.

Applause! Applause!

‐ Wonderful! ‐ My tears flowed!

Wow! Wow!

‐ You are truly amazing. ‐ Did you like it?

I'm right! I'm the star maker!

‐ True. ‐ I can't believe what I'm seeing!

Thank you, you flatter me.

I'll put him in the cast.

Three movies, three movies!

I am ready, Sir.

See, you fool?

Your talent is wasted with us, Sir. I see unmatched greatness.

Really?

‐ Truly a capable artist. ‐ Thank you.

I swear, a star is born.

A star is born.

I swear I couldn't write a single letter of what you said. What was that?

‐ Thanks. ‐ No one commented on my performance. Is there a problem?

Not bad. Let's go. Where is the money bag, production?

The money, right?

The money bag. Focus, son. The money bag!

‐ Excuse me, Sir. There is a problem. ‐ What happened now?

‐ We don't have the dollars for the scene. ‐ What!

‐ What! ‐ What!

What!

You want to fail me!

‐ What is this! ‐ How did that happen? How much do you have?

20…

20 what?

20 dollars.

Unfortunately, there are no other dollars for filming.

Do something! Find a solution! Get anything!

Look for any place, anyone to take money from, anything!

Unfortunately today is a holiday, and all banks are confiscated…

I mean closed.

We'll use visual effects.

Are you kidding me?

He's talking about "visual effects"!

Effects!

Have you lost your mind? Do you know the cost of effects now?

What effects, son? Are you crazy?

This is a disaster!

A huge problem.

God forgive me.

‐ What is it? I acted according to the plan. ‐ Shut up!

God forgive me.

Unfortunately…

We have to cancel the scene.

What do you mean cancel the scene?

‐ Why are you asking me? Ask him! ‐ Lie down, Haj Mohamed.

Go to sleep.

It's destiny, Brother Hamed.

You can't be with us.

‐ What do you mean, Sir? ‐ Although you are a skilled actor.

The harmony with you was great.

I felt that too. Did I fall short in anything, Ma'am?

You gave me a complex role, and I strove to make it even more complex. What more can I do?

‐ Nothing. ‐ Besides, you asked me to strive, and I did.

I was diligent, attended rehearsals, and did my duty.

Why not make it easier using fake money? Aren't you a professional director, Sir?

I don't deceive my audience, Brother Hamed. I am realistic. Didn't you read what was written?

‐ I did, Sir. ‐ Okay.

Sir, cut us some slack. The industry is in danger.

Slack? What is this nonsense?

You tell me to cut you slack? Say that to an unrealistic director.

As for me, all the movies I filmed before used real money.

I won't accept failing in the end due to cheap production values.

No, the money must be real and in large quantities. I won't compromise.

I'll zoom in on the money and show the watermark too.

Enough nonsense.

So there is no solution.

There must be a solution, Ma'am.

Do you know anyone with ten million dollars we can use?

Do you know anyone in existence who has ten million dollars?

Do we know anyone?

It's easy.

Here.

Not ten million, but close. Do you understand?

No problem.

We'll fix the rest in post-production, right?

Yes, there are discounts on effects now.

Let's focus. We'll repeat the scene.

As soon as the Professor finishes his sentence…

‐ Sentence… ‐ Come with me.

That's right. We'll cue the police sirens.

Once you hear the sirens, take the bags and put them in the trunk.

And drive down that street. Understood? Let's focus.

Sir, I memorized the whole dialogue.

Forget the dialogue now.

‐ You'll put the bags in the trunk. ‐ Okay.

‐ And enter this street. ‐ The back street.

Yes.

Come on, I want to shoot.

Oh boy.

Come on.

‐ Congratulations, Boss. ‐ Action!

Get ready!

Ready?

Get ready, start!

Listen, Bashandi.

It's true I'm a playful woman.

Your money is ready.

What's with the attitude, man?

Yes, ready.

And the drugs are ready too.

Cue the sirens and let's finish.

Are you betraying me, man? We didn't agree on this!

Let's go.

Move fast, Sir.

Stop!

‐ Wonderful. ‐ Did you see my skill?

‐ Was my performance good, Sir? ‐ Amazing, Hamed! Amazing!

You were amazing. Come! Come to me, you creative genius!

‐ Let's congratulate you. ‐ Unbelievable!

A new star is born.

‐ What creativity! I've never seen such performance. ‐ It's amazing.

‐ I could only marvel at your amazing performance. ‐ What do you think of my performance, Sir?

You are only good for villain roles.

I'm only good for certain roles.

That's true.

Truly a big star.

‐ Thank you. ‐ Did you see his entrance?

His way of closing the car door amazed me. I've never seen anything like it.

Wow, he's amazing.

Many awards await him.

Yes, this is Oscar level.

‐ We go to the Oscars then. ‐ We have a series for next Ramadan.

‐ I'll nominate you for it. ‐ Really?

And take me with you. I want to go to El Gouna Festival.

‐ Certainly. ‐ Please.

I am very grateful, Brother Hamed.

You are truly a great artist.

Thank you, Sir.

And you are an amazing actor.

Thank you, Sir.

‐ Okay, do you have my number? ‐ No.

Call me anytime. Anyway, I'll contact you when we start editing.

Okay. And don't forget your money in the car.

‐ Thank you. ‐ Goodbye.

‐ He's truly respectful. ‐ Goodbye.

‐ Goodbye. ‐ Goodbye, Sir.

Goodbye.

Those were beautiful days.

I'll really miss the film set.

Is this the money?

‐ I saw the money with my own eyes. ‐ How did this happen?

‐ Many awards await him. ‐ Yes.

Listen carefully and stop chattering.

Seems you, boy, don't realize who "The Shark" is.

I will teach you.

Let those who don't know, know.

And let the ignorant learn.

No, Boss! No, please!

One must ensure that this money is truly clean.

How much do we need?

100,000 dollars.

Don't worry.

Genius Sayed will give us a new idea to bring the 100k dollars in an instant.

No, I'll cover it from my personal cut.

I chose Shady and I trusted him.

Get ready. From tomorrow, we start the operation against Hashem El-Faham.

We just hope to make the auction.

Don't worry.

Suppose you didn't find Hashem El-Faham.

‐ What do you mean? ‐ I mean maybe he traveled or had an emergency.

I don't know.

What did you do about your father? Did you go to him?

No.

Why?

I'll go to him, God willing.

Most importantly, don't get your hopes up so you don't get hurt.

Someone is asking for you.

I want you to call my personal tailor. Have him prepare a black dress for me.

A party dress?

No.

I have a funeral to attend.

Wait, who did you say wants me?

Me.

What is it, Yasmine?

Did you see a ghost?

Which funeral are you going to?

Someone I'm related to.

You've always been dutiful.

Doing your part.

Don't you know?

I was given a new life.

‐ Really? ‐ Yes, I swear.

I was supposed to go to Alexandria for work.

But a close friend from Upper Egypt went in my place, in my car.

And on the way, he had an accident.

And died along with everyone else.

What a disaster.

Indeed.

Every life has its end.

Certainly.

After what happened…

I thought about our partnership.

Honestly, I see you take the matter very seriously.

Unlike the previous "Future Land" project.

You want to build a luxury residential complex.

You want to achieve something and make history.

I told you before.

Excuse me and forgive me.

I misunderstood things.

And now I understand them correctly.

That's why I want my share in the project to be 25 percent.

Yes? Are you out of your mind?

Luckily, I am perfectly fine and healthy.

The sick one is your husband, Soleiman.

That medicine you slip him without his knowledge.

The drugs that affect his abilities and weaken his resolve.

That's why he can't refuse you any request.

I wish him recovery.

Or let me say…

Let him get sick.

Give him the medicine.

Goodbye.

Mom.

Mai.

My love.

How are you?

I'm glad you came.

Why? What is it?

Someone asked about you.

Who?

I don't remember.

You don't remember? Strange, Mom. Try to remember, who asked for me?

I don't know, but he's waiting for you.

Waiting for me inside?

Tell me.

What exactly does Yasmine know about me?
