Fortunately, i have this.

and a doze of Prozac - you work after having taken Prozac?

I can't live without it

everyday before going to see all those crazy people

it makes life easier

you have a nice room

I used to know someone who used to hide stuff in his room

a french, an artist.

- he was weird. He used to live in Beirut. - What did he hide and where?

letters he used to write, things he would find.

He used to hide them behind the bed, under the curtains

a little everywhere.

What does it serve him?

He does it for the memory, maybe. One day, someone will find it all and will think of him.

- what would you hide, then?

Thanks. Me? Like him, something like a secret.

what secret? what secret?

excuse me.

Oh, i have to go. I have to go, excuse me.

I have to go to work.

- Stay if you want to. What if he turned out to be a great catch?

Calm down.

- Thank you. - Thank you for the drink.

Stay if you want to, you haven't finished your beer.

- Is he dreary? - Rabih? yea

he has plenty of terrible stories about hospitals.

he reassures me

are you usually scared?

Here, everybody's scared

here for example, are you scared?

No. Why?

I don't know. We don't know each other.

When i saw you across the bar, i thought you were,

how do you 'pretentious'?

pretentious, me too.

excuse me, it should be your friend coming to get his stuff.

- Abbas, what are you doing here? - You called me, didn't you?

- Oh yea, but it's midnight. - i came from the bekaa only to see you.

How are you matthew? everything's going well?

Let me introduce to you Abbas, an old friend.

They didn't tell me i have a visitor. They let you come up easily?

You know me, it's to surprise you.

- You don't change. - So, you're on a new mission?

The embassador's son has gotten addicted again to heroin?

he couldn't get out of it.

No, no. I'm passing through to Syria. Excuse me, i'll be back.

I apologize

it's a wedding, probably

It's always like this in Beirut

What do you do in your life, then?

I smoke a lot and drive fast.

No, i'm a singer.

I sing in a restaurant, down there at 'Riviera'.

I have never know a singer.

- Is it interesting? - Yes, it's interesting.

your friend, he's strange. Who is he?

Thank you.

And, you work together?

We have already worked together.

Yes, 3 years ago.

confirmed that he didn't belong to any political party

Fouad, as usual calls me when he arrives to work

3 days ago he went out he didn't call me.

I called his brother who also works at the airport

I told him Fouad wasn't answering my calls

i'm worried

He told me that he hasn't arrived to his office

He called all the hospitals and even the commissaries

he disappeared. We're all waiting for him

What?

I have to tell you what happened with me last night.

I don't know yet. You?

- Who's at your place? - Jinane.

You know, it happened to me once

We were at a party

We didn't talk much. But it is he who kissed me.

I would've loved to, but he surprised me.

He was really handsome. And i, lost my mind.

we embraced each other

His hair was really soft

Afterwards

- What happened?

He left. That's all. But it was really beautiful.

you know what, maybe it's better if you don't know him

You think i'm gonna see him again?

How could i know, you're dreaming of the prince charming

While we are living in uncertainty, scared for our lives

you're right

Matthew.

I was searching for you. how are you?

You have a nice car, there.

The Mercedes? yea it's new

Wanna go for a ride?

Would you come sit with me for 5 minutes?

You don't trust me

Why do you distrust arabs?

Oh not at all

One day, someone will kill you for this.

So, how was it in Syria?

It's not done yet. I have to go back there.

Why did you come here, this time?

I'm hereto negociate a contract for a french telecommunications company

It's to trick the Syrians that you to want to take me to Damascus with you.

No, you prefer to cheat on your wife here.

Are you still married?

we're separating, my wife and i

you have a son, right?

May God bless him.

Come, let's have a bite.

Me, i'm not married but it's more complicated than you

- This is a bonus for you, i'd like you to take it.

No, Thank you, it's not necessary.

No, please It's my will

What's the matter with you? you were good,

why do you look so sad?

you have a beautiful body and a beautiful voice as well

Thank you

Where are you going? Stay.

I parked my car at the Cornishe.

- He came to hook up with a girl in front of me.

Don't mind him, forget him.

- What time is it? - I don't know

How about we go to the bar we went to the other time?

- What is it? - He's behind you

He's in love with you.

I don't understand anything.

What did you do to him?

so?

- Where's he? what's he doing? Is he still following us.

I can't see him anymore

Turn around, maybe you'll recognize him.

Yea. A woman, which woman?

How are you?

What do you want from me?

You come to my hotel and into room at 10 am in the morning,

you drag me out of bed to ask me this question?

Do you do this often?

The lebanese girls are rude.

- I don't wanna see you again, you scare me.

But we're not meeting

You were last night. What do you want?

Are you stalking me? Who told you where i sing?

- And, why are you laughing? - Nothing.

it's you who told me.

I like you. Do you wanna something else?

- Nothing will happen - Because you're married?

No, Because it'll go nowhere.

Because it'll go nowhere?

- No - No?

No

I'm not the only one to have been here, right?

She has beautiful black hair.

Is it your type?

Women always think we catalog them by their hair color or by, right?

And how do you catalog them?

Do you really want to know?

No

It doesn't interest me.

Much better, because you won't know more from me.

Where are we going?

- We're going for a little drive, i want to tell you something.

You change cars everyday?

Did you win the lottery or something?

You know, Matthew there are strangers who get in cars

and disappear. Kidnapped at 3am in the morning

while they are sleeping with their girlfriend

It's a joke.

It was during the war, but you should always

be careful while going to Syria.

This is my cousin, his name is 'Hussein'.

He is of same blood.

If you need anything, call him.

you're welcome.

Don't forget to call me

your cousin, is he stupid or does he not speak french?

get out, we'll talk outside.

Listen, i have important information and i wanna sell it

to your government. I want in return Visa for France.

- Political refugee.

Who do you take me for? I don't give out papers

Matthew, it's about the assasination of Hariri

there's a man, a witness on the run.

he knows the kamikaze who drove the Mitsubishi

that exploded

- They were friends. And i know him well

No, no i don't want to hear what you have to say

- Those are your stories, i want to know nothing about it.

Okay okay, as you wish but i want you to help me get

in touch with the people from the embassy

I recorded his testimony, i have photos

i would give it all for a visa to France in return

you're dreaming.

i'm dreaming? how am i dreaming? you were in a shitty

state when you first came here 3 years ago.

i'm the one who helped you.

I tried calling the embassador, he's not giving me any appointments.

He's not even letting me enter the embassy

I want you to help me

Abbas

Officially, nothing happened so officially

you never existed. Plus, the embassador has been changed

Who are you working with?

- Have you heard the news about this man, Saleh who disappeared?

Yes

I know him, i know him very well.

It has been told that he's in contact with the Israelis

that you have circonstitued network.

I'm in it too?

No, no. Listen to me, Matthew i'm on the list.

Can you hear me?

They wanna shut me up, because i know all their dirty

history. They benefit from it, to say

that i'm an israeli spy.

Did you understand?

- a Spy me?in 1982, i was fighting against

the israeli. Do you know what it means here to be a traitor?

What are you telling me? i can't understand anything.

I did you a favor, you begged me 3 years ago.

- Help me, please. - ok ok

- Just put me in contact with them. - I'll see what i can do.

Where do you think you're going, dressed like this?

Get your hand off of me.

- Why aren't you answering to my phonecalls?

Why should i answer?

Why you should answer?

I was trying to figure out why this is happening to us

Why can't we get back together?

- I love you. - You love me?

Do you call this love?

How dare you speak? You follow the first slut

you see passing by

Hisham, you don't know what love is.

Get away from me. Leave me you PIG.

- It's for you

Thank you, did somebody call me? a woman

- Not to my knowledge. - Are you sure?

- I'll check for you - Thank you.

Also nothing from France?

- Nothing for you - What's happening?

They are talking about the man who has been kidnapped,

last week.

What are they saying?

Nothing, the people are nervous, they don't understand it,

it's been 15 years since the last kidnapping,

it reminds them a bit of the war.

- Thank you - Okay

there has never been a brunette in my bed,

nor a blond anyways.

- Is that true? - Not here, at least.

I just wanted to see how you'll react

I've been waiting for your call for 2 days.

- You couldn't wait anymore, so you came to see me here?

Yea.

I would've gone anywhere.

You know, i dreamt of you last night.

There was a lot of people, but i'd forget the faces.

There was even my husband, my ex

- We were all in a big car, there was a man driving it i didn't know him

Where were we going?

I forgot

I don't know, everybody disappeared i think.

And you too.

The negociations are difficult. Like I told you,

the syrians are putting you under pressure.

I won't give it up, i'll be back on saturday.

he's in the bekaa, that's why he knows much

about the world of drugs

When i came here, to Beirut 3 years ago he helped me,

with his contacts

get the son of the embassador out of drugs

related trouble he got himself into.

He didn't have any contact with the embassy,

nobody from the embassy where you are met him

And now, he wants to see you he says he has

important information, he wants someone

from the embassy where you are.

- He has been threatened, his familiy in the bekaa is in danger

Did he tell you why? what kind of

information is he withholding

- He says he has information about the assination of Hariri,

that he knows a witness.

What witness? What kind of information? did he tell

No, i don't know i don't wanna know. It's none of my business.

If it's the same witness that everyone's talking about.

Why didn't you call us?

- I left you a letter at the other hotel - I'm busy, i'm here to make a contract.

- With Syrians? - Yea

It's already complicated

At the same time.

I don't know.

No idea at all.

So sweetie, is your mum at home?

Yea

Has the car been fixed or is it still in repair?

it's still in repair

- Where are you going? - I have to go, i'm in a hurry

This style suits your feet perfectly.

- I can't take them off - I'll let you think

How much does it cost?

250000 L. L

Good then, i'll come back.

Why are you closing the curtain?

And why did you change the hotel?

Are you afraid the police will arrest us?

i think i'm being surveiled

by someone from the opposing building

- Who? - I don't know.

why?

I don't know

umm, we can go out if you want?

- No - What's the matter?

Matthew.

Everything ok?

I was going through your things

What did you find?

you really know how to do it, you and the guys

that you sing at the hotel, and you get dragged

Sometimes

What kind of men drags you?

It depends

The hotel manager, for example.

he invites me to have drinks, he says he wants to

make a diva out of me

It's true

There is even a friend of his from tv business,

he owns a black mercedes, latest model

he parked it in front of the restaurant and

told me i'll give the car to you if you sing in my program.

It's ridiculous.

The hotel manager, do you see him each night?

- Not each night, but when i sing he's at my feet.

Does he know where you live?

- What's his name? - You don't know him

Even if i tell you his name

- And if he sleeps with you - In his dreams.

put your hair backwards. You have a romantic face,

i wanna see it.

There.

- We go somewhere. - No

- Yes, we go somewhere else - No

Yea.

- We go - No

- We go - No

I'll be back in an hour and then we'll go somewhere else.

The minister has informed the people

endangering our understanding of our coexistence

It's for you

It's your perfume

Thank you.

Please, exhale it outside

Does the cigarette bother you that much?

all of you in this headquarters smoke..

Who's that jerk?

And, how old is he, Michael?

5 years old.

- You'll introduce him to me one day? - Yes

- Promise? - Yea

I am Lebanese, if you lie to me i'll kill you.

Don't come near Zoha anymore

Your friends are not calling. Contact them please.

Or else it'll be bad for you

Allo, give me Abbas

Abbas, what are you trying to do now? What's the matter with you?.

you're sending me threat messages now.

Do you think i'm gonna help you this way?

then, It's your cousin who put a gun against my back

'Don't call us, we'll call you' that's

what they told me at the embassy but they didn't call me

You know them, they're your friends. you should ask again from them

They don't believe me and you know that they'll kill me

A man called my family yesterday saying

that he protects an Israeli agent. He's threatening me

What should i do? Wait?.

You want justice?

I'm telling you all i know

- And you should help me get a Visa to France.

I told you it's not in my power, i'm a lawyer.

I don't know what you're talking about and your witness

Do you know what they say in the newspapers,

do you think i was making up the assassination of Hariri?

do you doubt what i say? and you, you're a lawyer of the french government

and you negociate big contracts.. and you tell me you can do nothing?.?

Listen, i'm going tomorrow to Syria.

It was a bad idea to meet again, i did what i could.

I can't do anything about it that, i can promise you

- Then, don't call me, if you need me to help you while you're in Damascus.

You're completely crazy, i can threaten you too i can go tell everything.

now let go, let go. pull over here.

Stop the car. I told you to Stop the car.

- We'll see each other in 3 days in front of the embassy. My cousin will call you.

Go fuck yourself.

When are you leaving?

Soon, i still don't know.

- Will let me know when you will? - Of course

And when will you be coming back?

I don't know. As soon as possible.

I will wait for you

Will you call me?

What are you going to do in Syria?

I'm going to negociate contract

And then, when you finish your job?

I'll come back here.

do you think he's talking about me to somebody?

He couldn't be lying to me

but you know what

When we're together with nobody around us

it's incredible, i forget about the world

It's as if we have known each other for a long time

There's nothing serious til' now.

Don't worry.

But, i want you to help me a bit.

I want you to tell me what you two talk about

Who he meets

Who he calls. This kind of stuff

We don't talk much. We just take walks.

- And Israel, has he never mentioned Israel in front of you?

Israel?

Surely not

Didn't he tell you about his family?

- About his work? - No

He told me that he has a son in France and that he has a wife he's separated from.

Ok, but have you ever seen him with somebody else?

- No, why? - Try to remember.

But he's not a spy. It can't be possible.

He's a lawyer

Lawyer..

- There's a network that has been caught

and is being pursued. And he was seen with suspects.

What kind of network

An Israeli network

And because of this, you and him are being pursued

Listen to me Zahia, Sweetie.

- Singing in restaurants, ok. Divorcing your husband,

i'm not against it. But don't get into bigger things than you.

Uncle, i didn't do anything you can tell them that.

I'm not going to tell them anything.

Sweetie, you know that the Intelligence agencies even

if they are on the same side, there's always competition between them.

Does Hisham know you're cheating on him with a french man?

No, it's none of his business. I told you that i wanna divorce him

don't worry, we'll make sure divorce you him

But he won't accept, i know him.

Don't worry. We'll make him accept, by force.

- How's your mother? - She's fine.

Say hi to her from me

This is Samir, do you know him?

- Hi - Hi

- Hello, Sir. - Hello, Samir

Sorry Ma'am, he left the hotel.

He left the hotel?

Did he leave me an address, or anything?

- What's your name? - Zoha Harb.

No, sorry. He didn't leave anything. Can i help you

with anything else?

Can i see his room, please?

Sorry Ma'am, the room is empty. What do you wanna see in it?

- I just drop an eye on it.

I can help you, but you can't go into the room.

I just wanna see if he left something there, please just a minute. It'll be just a minute.

Send someone with me if you want

What's the matter?

Go on.

Fuck this country, it is full of problems.

Goodbye.

Sit down.

Make a wish, and take a pile with your left hand

You wished for a man

But this is a sad man

He hides a secret from you

You wished to know about this secret

Will he come back?

Yes

When?

Not now.

Hi

Who let you in?

Where is your french boyfriend?

Who are you?

How long has it been since you last saw him?

It's none of your business? Who are you?

Doesn't matter

Did he tell you when he'll be back?

No, What do you want from me?

- When you see him again, tell him Abbas changed his mind.

He'll understand.

How did you get in here?

You have a beautiful voice.

A terrible thing happened in Beirut this morning.

A father and his daughter have been found dead

close to the Raouche rock.

It was cleared out that the father was angry with his daughter

and he wanted restore the honor of his family

So he threw her from the top of the rock.

no no, what an animal.

May you die.

I wish they had saved that girl

Did you see what that animal did?

tv: he wanted to get rid of her but she took ahold

of his knees and she dragged him down with her.

They died the moment they bumped into the rocks

What's wrong with you?

What's the matter?

Where are you dreaming?

The suspects of the two recently discovered networks

are still being pursued, in Sidon, Nabatied, and the South..

What happened to you?

Nothing goes i plan

Nothing is going like i want it to

And i can't take it anymore. I don't know what's wrong with me.

Calm down

Let me hold you, let me hold you.

Those spies were deciding targets and send

their news to the Israeli enemy

which helped them bomb civilians' houses in 2006

Their arrest might deprive the Israeli from achieving their goals in the next war..

What happened to you?

Nothing, they tried to rob me.

So, did the french 'Baby' leave?

He got scared?

How do you know about him?

I followed you once and saw him.

So, did he dump you?

No, he didn't. And he'll be back.

And you believed him?

He left you after he has slept with you?

All those western people are this way.

you're dreaming.

Did you spray the whole perfume bottle on you today?

One by one.

You were lying to me?

It's you who came to find me

I didn't have to

What did you do while i wasn't here? Did you sleep

with somebody else?

You're jealous. You think i'm a slut.

No

You are a liar, a spy.

Who told you that? Who told you that, tell me.

- You know nothing about me, i could have disappeared.

I could stop calling you. I could have not given you any sign of life.

I don't understand.

I could also rotten your life, smother you,

call you 10 times per day like your jerk of a husband

who was gonna break my jaw by the way.

I could have done that, but i won't and i didn't.

I didn't do anything. Nothing.

Because you don't love me.

- Do we know each other? - No

I have surely seen you somewhere.

You sing, right?

I am Tony, the cousin of Rima Abi Saab

We came once to hear you sing. It was you, right?

I remember now

- It was beautiful - Thank you

Where are you going? come with us

No, thank you

We're going to a wedding. Look, we have girls.

Come, Rima will join us later.

- No - Come'on tony

Calm down.

It doesn't suit you to be sad

Who made you sad? where is he so i could beat

the hell out of him

Fuck this life, it's not worth it

Fuck him

Come

Don't stay like this, here.

Is something wrong?

- I'm late, i should go - Where do you wanna go?

Where do you want to go?

- I should go - Why?

Why are you scared of me?

- Let me go, please.

I'm not stopping you from it, i just wanna know

what's wrong with you, tell me, talk to me

I'm late, i should leave

Why talking to me this way now? It's you

who made a move on me from the beginning. Calm down.

- Get your hand off of her. - It's none of your business

- General security. - We're talking

Come

Button your shirt

we are from the General Security, we want to talk to you

We are going to serve you blueberry juice, it's tasty

You don't know it, it's local

So, i don't wanna talk much with you. I know that you know my niece Zahia

Zahia? I don't know her.

Zahia, Zoha

What are you telling me? Zoha?

Who are you? Do you have a mandate?

Because of you, the Intellegence agency questioned

Zahia last night. The Army's secret services.

Since it's your niece and part of it as you said,

how did you let them interrogate her?

It's not to you that i should explain that

there two Intellegence agencies in Lebanon, mr. Mermont

It's the Army's Secret Sevice that questioned her.

What's happening?

What's happening? What's happening is that she knows you,

if you understand me.

- Everything is know here

from who? from her? What did she tell you?

that i snore at night?

I wouldn't be laughing if i was in your position

Everybody here thinks you're a spy. And our neighbours

the Syrians don't like the way you're handling

their contracts

They would be glad to know that we've taken

care of you instead of them.

And that bag of yours in the hotel filled with money.

How do you explain that?

What is this, sir? i'm a lawyer not a spy.

You can't do anything, i have nothing to tell you.

You arranged a meeting for Abbas Tayyar with people

from the french embassy

Since he saw your friends, we didn't see him anymore.

My friends as you wish to call it, refuse to reply

to his calls

Maybe yes, maybe no.

How can we know he didn't sell you information?

- Listen, if you help us, if you care about Zahia..

Doesn't it bother you to use your niece?

Because you love her

What exactly do you want from me?

At first, to tell us where Abbas Tayyar is

We get him out of his hiding place and then

your friend will serve a sentence like the others.

And then, you leave this place.

Did you understand?

Firstly, i wanna see Zoha.

Ali, get me the phone.

Allo, put Zahia on the phone.

You are being watched

I don't know what they want from you but

they asked me questions about you. They threatened me.

So, if you have nothing to do, don't stay in Beirut.

Leave now.

And do what they ask you to do

- I'm telling you this because we were friends

We were friends?

Is it your uncle who taught you this?

Or were you manipulating me from the beginning?

I'm manipulating you?. or is it the you manipulating me?

Stop

- Listen, there's someone who questioned me today in my hotel room.

Who is it? the Army's Secret Services?

I don't know

- What did you say about me? - What do you want me to say? Nothing.

Somebody snitched

- Did you come to tell me this? Are you with them?

No

- I didn't know what to do anymore. - why did they visit you? Who told them?

- They saw you at the embassy

So? i'm not the only one, everybody goes to the embassy

- We're going to meet directly with your friends.

Now, i'd give it all. I have it all with me here,

i have it on a USB

- Why? i thought it was important for you.. who are you working with?

It is up to me to ask you're after all the european embassies in Beirut. Why? huh?

What's happening?

Hussein, is there a problem?

- Abbas, i swear we are going to arrange it, we'll negociate

I already tried to negociate with you

It's over.

Abbas

Abbas

Mr. Mermont

It's over

The file has been closed

We won't investigate the disappearance of Abbas Tayyar

It's always the innocents who get it

Because Abbas is innocent now

the case has been fixed, we didn't find the important stuff

neither in his car nor in his house

- He drew a lot of attention, for nothing

For nothing. He disappeared because he knew nothing

or because he knew everything and nobody wanted to listen to him.

You should ask this question to your embassy,

to your military attaché

why they didn't make deal with him, is it because

he knew nothing or because he knew much?

Maybe they'll answer

I know an official from the UN, he lived

in the sounthern part of Lebanon, he wrote on a

piece of paper and pasted it on his office's wall.

Did you kill him?

You can leave

You can take your flight today instead of tomorrow,

if you want

And don't come back, it's better for you.

didn't you just tell me, the case has been fixed?

If you're in Paris, it's better for you.

you're saying that to protect your niece

My niece? She doesn't wanna hear of you anymore.

It's over.
