THIS PROGRAM IS NOT FOR CHILDREN
IT IS A WORK OF FICTION BASED ON REALITY
Ibn Smailek! Come out, Ibn Smailek!
You took your time.
We're not in a hurry to shed blood.
Surely you're in no hurry to shed blood.
Go back where you came from
and avoid it.
Bastard!
You want me to forget my brothers' blood
and leave my mother to mourn their death?
Listen, man.
The man who killed your brother
will not hesitate to kill you.
I swear I will only leave this place
with your blood on my hands.
Then you will die, you fucker!
His mother betrayed him.
BLOOD FOR DIGNITY
PRODUCED BY MUNIR AL HADATHI
Listen. In our vision, good content
isn't just something beautiful
that people watch and that wins awards.
It's a matter of life and death.
There's a positive relationship
between improving the quality of life
and good content.
The general mood has improved
thanks to our productions, man.
Not only in Saudi Arabia,
but all over the world.
We're no longer back seat passengers.
And I want to say to Steven Spielberg,
who seven years ago despised us
and doubted our potential for success…
Bring it on!
MASAMEER COUNTY
WHEEL REPAIR
Abu Ali, they're waiting for you.
Okay. I'll be right there.
No, man.
Is there any market share left
to start with? The whole market is gone.
I honestly don't know.
What's with Thailand? I've never been.
Cut the crap, guys. Let's be rational.
It seems that it's our only option.
I'll rip your head off.
MAIN PENITENTIARY
My mother has AIDS.
It's all your fault, Dad.
-But she's not your mother, Jasem.
-No!
And I'm not your father.
I'm your half-sister.
Liar!
Okay, guys. Good job.
We'll take a break,
have lunch, and resume.
Reham?
-Yes, sir.
-Do you want a major role in the series?
Of course. Who doesn't dream of working
with the strongest, smartest,
and most handsome producer in history?
Okay. I'll give you the part.
Crazy dude! Plumber! You're free to go.
Go get your stuff from the office.
Stuff? I have stuff?
UNKNOWN CALLER
Hello?
Congrats on getting
your freedom back, etc.
Come on, get to work.
-Who are you?
-Look to your right.
There's a green car. The keys are inside.
Open the trunk.
What do you want?
Start making TV series, like you used to.
Okay.
Give me two weeks to get ready.
You have 24 hours.
-Remove the tire, Abdu.
-Right away, sir.
Give them four seasons
of the series Lake of Tears.
Yes, sir.
What a shame!
Give them Coming Out of the Closet,
series premiere. It's good for them.
-Yes, sir.
-Their homes are clean,
and they treat their guests well.
Okay, enough! What do you want?
-I want to buy from you, sir.
-What channel do you represent?
Sir, I represent myself.
Does "content" interest you?
-What's "content"?
-Content. I sell content.
I won't say no. Give us content.
Give him an episode of The Beggar.
Dignity for Blood, season two.
Scene one, take one.
I see people crying
over those who died before them,
and the death of those crying is near.
Death is just a delayed certainty.
It will come when he's called
and he… answers.
A Jeep or a Hilux?
What's she doing here? Where's Nuha?
The channel canceled her contract.
What? Call the producer. Call Munir.
They canceled Munir's contract too,
so he left.
-Who's in charge then?
-I am.
I'm the producer now.
I removed the main protagonist too.
And I got this woman.
Fatty is so much better than him.
What you're doing is not right.
And I'm playing the lead role now.
And I'm the gaffer,
and the composer,
the art director,
the wardrobe stylist and the editor,
the camera operator and the caterer.
I am everything!
What's the face of death?
Face or butt?
Butt or mouth?
Mouth or mouse?
Mouse or cat? Cat or dog?
Dog or burger?
Burger or hurger? Okay…
What a disgusting scene!
PHARMACY
Oh, my God! What did I just watch?
I need antidepressants!
I'm going to kill myself!
Oh, my God!
Munir, what happened to your show?
TV has gone bad.
Bless you!
It's not my show anymore.
The channel took it away
and gave it to another producer.
The stomach acids will kill him.
He has enough acidity to charge a Tesla.
Suleiman!
Go to the office and get me
all the contracts. I want to review them.
MUNIRCO PRODUCTIONS
Here are all the contracts, sir.
Is this all of them?
Where are all our projects?
A producer is convincing every channel
to work with him instead.
Who is it? May he fail miserably!
The Plumber, sir.
The Plumber?
Isn't he in prison, banned from working
and 100 million in debt?
Yeah, but someone paid off his debts.
Who? And why did you let him
take over all these projects?
His work is shady and suspicious,
and I can't work with him, honestly.
Oh! Don't look him in the eye.
He'll get inside your heads.
Why are you in my office, Plumber?
Munir.
Why don't you look at me?
I work here
and I'll complete your great career.
You'll never be me.
I work for beauty, for art,
and you can never understand that.
You're overacting, Munir.
No!
You father died, Munir,
and left everything to me.
Liar! Get out of the office!
The company is mine!
The inheritance is mine!
-Munir! What's gotten into you?
-Hold him!
I told you I want a divorce, Jasem.
I told you to shut up, woman!
No! What have I done?
Get out of my head, Plumber!
I am not a scene in your crappy shows.
No!
Let me die here.
Let me be a martyr!
Let go of me!
What a beautiful evening.
Nice weather, full moon.
The man is suffering
and you speak of the moon?
I was just making small talk, you dumbass.
We should distract him from his sorrows.
Answer me, Munir.
Since having this experience,
how do you feel after your life's work
has been usurped
and completely destroyed,
and the future gets darker than ever?
Do you prefer that, you idiot?
May God ease your pain
like you cheered us up, Munir.
I mean, in the past years,
you've created content
that we will never forget.
-Chill!
-Have faith, man!
Are you crying over TV series?
You're crying over forbidden stuff.
Bakr Al Sheddi.
What's wrong with you?
Are we infidels now?
Munir, do not fret.
Every problem has a solution.
Every door has a key.
Your key is a respectful actor,
who never competed for a role
and never got greedy over a paycheck…
who didn't become famous to meet women,
and whose acting isn't corny
or exaggerated.
He will save you.
He will save you.
A pure actor?
We have no one like that.
Yes, we do.
You still love to work the land yourself.
I love to feel what I'm doing
with my hands.
Abu Tarek, art is calling on you
to save it.
I…
I saved art many times,
but I'm done.
I retired and left it to you.
I am not here to discuss a TV series,
but an epic battle between good and evil.
All the pawns have been placed…
and we're waiting for the savior.
Mister Ali…
the Plumber is back.
-Ali Al-Mdfa.
-Wow!
He's our Morgan Freeman.
What do you need?
Guns. Lots of guns.
Give me my machete.
Munir, they say that art
sharpens the soul. Is that true?
-Yes.
-Okay. Will it sharpen the machete too?
Do you smell him nearby?
Cowards!
Get the rat.
Let go of me, you bastard!
Don't squeeze my hand.
Don't you know who I am?
Abu Mousa, enough.
Don't resist.
Don't waste your time.
This will only end one way.
-Sign.
-Save your pen.
I will sign with this finger, asshole!
See this finger? I'll sign with it.
Do you want it in red? Take that too.
You seem to like colors, right?
You're forcing companies to give you
good content so you can lock it up.
We don't lock it up. We delete it.
You listen. Your bullying will work
with your children and women!
But I'm Mickey Mousa.
Okay. Where do I sign?
I hope you're hungry…
because I'll feed you shit!
Kill him!
Bayern Hogan?
I don't know him.
Head of the biggest pharmaceutical
company in the world.
Are you gonna explain your evil plan to us
like every bad guy does?
Such a cliché!
You bastard!
This is the end.
No!
Abu Tarek!
Abu Tarek!
A producer creates beauty from nothing.
He screams
in the face of death and says,
"I was there, even if you killed me."
Is the producer infallible?
No.
But it's our job to forgive and remember
his good deeds after he passes,
hoping that the successful parts
of his career will remain,
to fill future generations
with joy and beauty.
I'm talking about good producers,
not this carcass.
