Tyrant - Season 3 Edit

A citizen

A court can set them free, but not us, not you.

A widow

About our old family breakfasts.

Abu Omar is the one who took you, right?

After Bassam's administration, that would have been one thing,

Ahmed wants to follow in his father's footsteps

Ahmed, listen to me.

Ahmed, you're in mourning for your wife

Ahmed's sleeping.

All of us must give testimony for the story to be complete.

All right, drama queen.

Allah, this is not a good book.

Always. Till the end.

Am I too late?

And at least now everyone has a stake in it

And don't talk about this to anyone.

And he who was your enemy may become your dearest friend.

And I broke her heart because I didn't.

And I can sleep a little easier.

And I could not care less about politics, but...

And I'm the president.

And let the country watch him reform publicly.

And mine, as governor of Ma'an Province.

And my husband

And no one will be granted amnesty

And now look where we are, what we've accomplished.

And now we share

And Nusrat?

And so I am establishing a Truth and Dignity Commission,

And such women do not become first lady.

And tell each other our stories.

And telling the story of our crimes against each other.

And that cannot happen if I run.

And that could be us.

And that was her choice.

And that,

And the work for the government doesn't stop, Ahmed.

And then, I felt sorry for him.

And they call it progress.

And turning him into a lightning rod for his supporters.

And we will follow you and whatever government you form.

And what about Ihab?

And what are the charges?

And why didn't you say so before you took office?

And with it, the promise of healing instead of retribution,

And yet you've already announced the election's in six months away.

And you are a national hero.

And you prospered during their occupation.

And you sold them your goods,

And you tell this country you're in control.

And you.

And you're the head of the Truth and Dignity Commission

Anything else?

Are going to wish that he had just let me die.

Are now gone.

Are they going to execute me?

Are you gonna say no to me?

Are you here for us?

Are you okay, madame?

Are you still... in love with me?

Are you truly committed to democracy in Abuddin,

Are you upset?

Arrest them.

As only having supported me?

As you wish.

As you wish.

Assuming the office of President of Abuddin.

At first.

At least I did some good.

Aziz.

Barry won't. He keeps everything locked up inside.

Barry, come to bed. We can talk about it.

Barry, I know you want to go with your brother,

Barry...

Bassam has my country operating under the assumption

Bassam is president now.

Bassam is promising us democracy.

Bassam wouldn't do this

Bassam wouldn't let them do that.

Bassam, you and I.

Bassam, your brother...

Bassam! Bassam! Bassam!

Bassam! Bassam! Bassam! Bassam!

Bassam?

Be careful how you address me, Colonel.

Because I'm not running.

Because it's not enough just to call an election six months from now.

Because then the country needed reassurance.

Been sleeping a lot these days.

Better that than putting him on trial

Blue Finger.

Blue finger.

Blue finger.

Bullshit!

But after six months and under a general amnesty,

But Bassam Al Fayeed has kept his promise.

But between you and me...

But for a while, we are the First Family of Abuddin.

But he will no longer be able to carry out his duties as your president.

But here's the real question.

But history is pretty clear on one thing:

But I think you should stay.

But I'm tired for apologizing of sometimes thinking

But if I were a betting man, I'd give him decent odds.

But it was always more theirs than it was mine.

But look how close we are to achieving everything you fought for.

But only if the enemies of the state are finally and properly punished.

But our holy book does not teach us to be fools.

But right now you're in no position to run for president.

But that makes for a very dangerous situation.

But there will always be the person who comes next.

But you know what's funny?

But you need to get on television tonight,

But... people love her.

By accepting those positions in your government,

By order of the general of the Army, General Said.

By orders of the president.

Caliph.

Call any witness.

Call you as soon as I know anything. Where's Sammy?

Calling for you to be the next president.

Can I get a little support here? I'm going to the Palace today.

Clever.

Colonel Maloof.

Colonel, you do not speak for me or for the Army.

Come back, okay?

Crowd's been gathering all morning.

Dad, that's not just some prisoner.

Daliyah, I...

Desert worn?

Did she leave a note?

Did she really commit suicide?

Did you hate him?

Dinner, after I meet with Leila?

Do you wish to explain yourself?

Does he hate me for what I did?

Doesn't work without my blessing and participation.

Don't be an asshole.

Don't be modest.

Don't do that. I'm in mourning, too.

Don't fool yourself, brother.

Don't say anything to your dad.

Don't wait for your father.

Don't you think?

Don't.

Encouraging your followers to support the Caliphate

Enemies of the state?

Even if he lives, he'll be paralyzed and frail.

Even me.

Every day.

Everybody's reading it.

Exactly.

Exactly.

Experiments in democracy fail all the time.

Explain your treason, Colonel.

Famous Daliyah who saved your life.

Finally those who have committed crimes against us will be called to account.

For all the crimes we committed against each other,

For five counts of crimes against humanity, Jamal.

For us?

For what crimes?

Forming a Truth and Dignity Commission.

Freeze time right now...

From a village that no longer exists.

From God's law towards man's.

Fundamentalists and secularists.

General Said, sir, I speak for the officers of your Army

General.

General.

Gentlemen!

Get off me!

Get your father.

Good.

Good. Well...

Had Bassam not done us the favor,

Has she been released?

Haven't you read any of these books?

He and his whole family

He could live.

He loves you.

He obviously thinks very highly of you.

He was always late.

He woke up from the coma about an hour ago

He, uh..

He'll be here in an hour. He's ready to talk.

He's also instructed me to tell you that you are invited to the first meeting

He's been in there for over an hour.

He's not communicating yet, but he does respond to stimuli.

He's on the phone.

He's right. As it is,

He's still in a coma.

He's told me almost nothing about you

Hey.

Hey.

Hey.

Hmm?

Honey?

Honey?

How can you not care about politics? This is a huge speech.

How dare you. This is our home.

How does that help me run for president?

How is that going to make anything better?

How many in your families died?

How many more mornings are we gonna have like this,

How's the speech coming?

I am a Bedouin woman

I am, with the support of the Abuddinian military,

I can't believe that worked.

I couldn't let him win.

I couldn't.

I cried too many times.

I did not commit this crime.

I didn't know she was in the capital.

I don't know.

I don't know. Can you pretend to forgive?

I don't like this.

I don't think so.

I don't trust anyone else the way that I trust you.

I don't understand.

I don't want any of it getting into the wrong hands.

I don't.

I doubt that.

I forgive you, Colonel.

I forgive.

I give it to you.

I guess war makes unlikely heroes.

I had them include the cookies you like.

I have a meeting with the Egyptian foreign minister.

I have my selfish reason.

I I can't do this right now. I have to see Nusrat.

I just want to say that 16 months ago,

I know it doesn't mean much.

I know power comes before people in this family,

I know the rules.

I know this is a lot to handle.

I know what you mean.

I know you had presidential aspirations yourself.

I know you loved me once.

I know.

I know.

I know. It just...

I like other aspects of you, and I'm happy to talk about those.

I like that.

I lived on the sidelines for 20 years, Bassam.

I made a mistake.

I mean, I'm still angry.

I met him as Khalil

I need to explain.

I need to talk to him.

I need you to stay focused.

I need your advice.

I never asked you.

I really do.

I risked my life to bring my husband to justice

I said not now!

I saw my sister die at the hands of Jamal Al Fayeed.

I started thinking about what they did in

I still don't.

I think he's going to announce plans for a real election.

I think she's the perfect person for the job.

I think that's beautiful.

I think we can manage it.

I thought this wasn't my fight. I was wrong.

I tried to kill him myself once.

I trust you.

I understand.

I waited for this day and never believed it would come.

I want revenge, and just say...

I want to be foreign secretary,

I want to see Ahmed!

I want to see Ahmed!

I want to see my husband!

I wanted to come and see you so many times before this.

I wanted to make sure that you're being taken care of.

I will take it this is a mistake of inexperience,

I wish you would tell me all about it.

I wouldn't celebrate too quickly.

I, uh...

I...

I'll arrange for someone to drive you.

I'll have television cameras set up in the office.

I'll make us some tea.

I'll try.

I'm a doctor from Pasadena.

I'm afraid for your country, Bassam.

I'm afraid it's not that simple.

I'm going to inherit my husband's support without even asking.

I'm gonna name you the chair.

I'm having a bad day.

I'm honored

I'm honored.

I'm in mourning for my wife.

I'm in your debt.

I'm just not sure about this turn the other cheek thing.

I'm just...

I'm keeping a place for you.

I'm negotiating with the Buhaira government,

I'm never going to forgive.

I'm not all that important.

I'm not famous.

I'm not running for president.

I'm not sure these gentlemen want it to be the soonest

I'm not the right choice, Bassam.

I'm proud of that.

I'm sending you home, Mr. Ambassador,

I'm sorry I've disappointed you.

I'm sorry, Mr. President, madame.

I'm sorry, what?

I'm sorry.

I'm strong to take care of you.

I'm sure she couldn't, locked in her cell.

I've asked Daliyah Al Yazbek,

I've been praying for this.

I've never made out with a famous person before.

If all this had happened a few years from now,

If I released her alone, yes.

If left free to oppose us.

If the office had been handed to you,

If there are people who are angry at our family,

If we die?

If we do not release our prisoner.

If we talk about it,

If you don't...

If you guys don't get it, okay, you won't

If you say what you're afraid of,

If you're looking for a spatula.

Ihab will be transferred to a new jurisdiction

In a family where two of three sons

In one form or another, there's about to be a coup in Abuddin.

In one form or another, there's about to be a coup in Abuddin.

In the meantime, what position do I have in your cabinet?

In this job of taking care of Abuddin.

In this nation of suffering.

In time... will set us free.

Is an opportunity almost too good to be true if we play it right.

Is quite private, even in the best of times.

Is there anything I can do for you, madame?

Isn't that the style of the moment?

Isn't that what you said?

It doesn't matter how you look when you're famous.

It makes me afraid.

It says you're the Mother of the Revolution.

It shows him looking for something you hid under your clothes.

It shows us kissing?

It was a painful time.

It won't be an election.

It won't be so scary.

It would be unfortunate if it comes out

It... it would be a coronation, of you.

It's 3:00 a.m.

It's 5:00 a.m.

It's all right, you can leave us alone.

It's good to know what you like about me.

It's instinct!

It's like King Lear.

It's my job to anticipate your every need.

It's my job to anticipate.

It's nearly midnight.

It's not good for the rest of us.

It's over

It's over. He's stepping down.

It's too soon.

It's what you always wanted, isn't it?

It's you and me.

Jamal!

Jamal. Is he...?

Just a routine inspection.

Just a small part in his story.

Just as your father would have done.

Just get me a car; I'll drive myself.

Just to talk.

Justice is about to have its day in Abuddin.

Keeping my eye on you.

Khalil and the Red Hand.

Let us arrange to have him returned to our control.

Let's buckle up!

Like it's some kind of a crime for a woman to think about herself.

Listen, to tell you the truth,

Look, I know this is more than you wanted to do,

Looks like you want to.

Marhaba.

May I arrange to have the supper removed?

Maybe they'll let me see him soon.

Me, too.

Me, you and the Arab League.

Mm hmm

Mm hmm.

Mm, sure.

Mm. You should be asleep.

Mom, don't...

Mom?

Mr. President

Mr. President, thank you.

Much better, it turns out.

My brother

My brother is in surgery.

My entire family was slaughtered...

My extended family is arrested?

My father... is still alive.

My father's, my brother's, the Caliphate's.

My friends at the hands of the Caliphate.

My husband.

My husband's life, I hear, for starters.

My mother.

Naturally.

Never mind

Nice?

Nice.

No more power.

No one comes to see me.

No one knows if he'll live or die.

No punishment?

No, it just...

No, it means everything.

No, it really isn't.

No, it's okay.

No, just, uh...

No, no, I couldn't do that. No one would understand.

No, no, no!

No, please don't do this. Please.

No, please.

No, stop!

None of you could do it, so I had to do it for you.

Nor is it acceptable that he should.

Not an accusation against an ally

Not even my husband.

Not now, Colonel.

Not so bad where life takes us.

Not so much forgiveness as a coming to terms.

Now it needs a real election.

Now one Al Fayeed replaces another.

Now, it can be orderly or it can be very unpleasant,

Now, we can avenge wrongs,

Nusrat died to make this possible for me.

Nusrat...

Of course he's late. He was always late.

Of course not.

Of course now all of you appear like cockroaches.

Of the Election Committee.

Oh, Bassam.

Oh, from the Red Hand to the Blue Finger.

Oh, there you are.

Oh!

Okay

Okay.

Okay.

Okay.

One day, they will come for you, too.

One of the heroes of the revolution,

One of these days, the victims will have to stop saying,

One year ago, I was going to be president.

Or on my son.

Or were you just playing lip service to a coalition government?

Or will America be seen by the whole world

Or you can have my resignation.

Out of respect, Madam Foreign Secretary.

Owe you a lot, I think.

Patience, General.

People actually read this?

People of Abuddin,

Please, please.

Polling says that if the elections were held today,

Previously on Tyrant...

Prior to the amnesty.

Rami assigned him a security detail. He's safe.

Rami, I need to know there's not gonna be any problems here.

Really? How did you picture her?

Reconciliation rather than revenge.

Red Hand to Blue Finger.

Right.

Right.

Right. Yeah.

Second drawer, I believe.

Seek revenge against our enemies,

Send him my thanks.

Send me away as far as you want.

She always wanted this for me.

She cannot be the only person punished for 25 years of crimes in this country.

She's an unlikely choice for that position.

She's been transferred for a period of time to a mental institution.

She's not how I pictured her.

She's the one in my head.

Sheik Al Qadi, you are under arrest.

Shoot a president on national television, and then walk away.

Sir, I realize I'm exceeding my authority here

So bin Rashid is already gone?

So I hear.

So I wanted to meet you.

So that's Daliyah.

So what does the Arabic say?

So you could do what?

So you're just going to let people go free?

So, what are we reminiscing about?

So... use me.

Somebody help me!

Somebody help me!

Somebody!

Someone had to stop him.

Soon I'll be an ordinary man.

Sorry, didn't mean to startle you.

Starting as of this moment,

Still sounds so strange.

Still, this experiment of yours

Stop it, please!

Stop!

Supporters of the old regime and supporters of the new.

Syria is coming apart by the seams.

Take charge now, or someone else will.

Takes time to develop calluses. That's not a bad thing.

Tell me about it.

Tell Rami I want to meet with him in an hour.

Tell the president to join us immediately.

Tell us why we should support that

Thank you, Doctor.

Thanks for asking, Dad.

That could set a very dangerous precedent.

That for this cycle to end,

That I might be more than a wife and a mother.

That I should even have to answer that.

That is in God's hands.

That is why you're perfect.

That one day those enemies will return

That we can all forgive each other.

That you wish to turn into an enemy.

That you've accepted bin Rashid as a bargaining chip

That's 25% of the country, at least.

That's all I'm going to be thinking about.

That's Barry.

That's exactly why I expect you'll work with me

That's famous enough for me.

That's good for the front runner.

That's good for you, Mr. President.

That's how I've survived, Ahmed.

That's not funny.

That's not what I like about you.

That's the soonest I think we can be ready.

That's what I've known my whole life.

That's what you'll be.

The Caliphate has threatened to execute 25 of our nationals in its custody

The chemical weapon in question

The commission will be led by a five person panel.

The fact that the American has taken power in Abuddin

The fact that the American has taken power in Abuddin

The first lady.

The first woman foreign secretary of an Arab nation.

The ICC is issuing a warrant of arrest

The Koran teaches us, Repel evil with good,

The man who's been fighting the Caliphate inside Ma'an...

The Mother of the Revolution.

The pancakes will get cold.

The people and the Army will support Bassam,

The pictures make it look like you want to kiss him.

The president would like to see you later this evening.

The same thing his brother promised us a year ago.

The sons of Tal Jiza will become soldiers in the Army of the Caliphate

The victims and the victimizers,

The will to power.

Then focus on that.

Then I will see you at the conference table.

Then shouldn't democracy begin at this table?

There are people who can make an omelet for you, Mr. President.

There has been a change in my government's position

There is no difference between what I do for myself and what I do for you.

There you are.

There's no news.

There's nothing to discuss.

Therefore,

These are enemies of the state. You can't just...

They all started chanting your name,

They got rich off the suffering of this country together.

They ruled together.

They'll all fight for your kingdom now.

Things are moving very quickly.

This election is like a dream.

This is a dangerous time.

This is a holy place!

This is for both of us.

This is no longer a negotiated political process.

This is no time to be thinking about elections

This is not an open question.

This is the price for your officers' cooperation.

This job, this power.

This land you betrayed me for, your own brother,

This time, it's the other way around.

This time, we choose

Those were my elections.

Those who might be unhappy with what we do could make things difficult and bloody

Though I do admire your courage.

To be honest, none of this seems real to me

To chair the five person panel charged with hearing the testimony

To drop out of the election?

To fix things.

To forgive and to heal.

To negotiate the release of your own nationals.

To seek revenge on us.

To sell copies.

To sell copies.

To watch the animals in their cages?

Today will be known as National Reconciliation Day.

Today, nothing.

Tomorrow's speech... it's not exactly, um... done.

Towards this election... self interest.

Treason.

Tunisia, in South Africa.

Uh, I don't know.

Under whose orders?

Until they give full witness to their own crimes.

Until we come to terms with our failed past.

Until you have kids, but if I could just

Up all night. Almost done.

W With all due respect, this is crazy.

Wake up.

Was this your plan all along?

Watching and nodding while other people made mistakes.

We all give testimony,

We all should.

We are going live. Three, two, one.

We are not nearly done

We can keep him under a soft house arrest, a convalescence.

We can't plan a better future for ourselves

We could use that.

We give tacit support to your policies.

We go on record...

We had a deal, General.

We have a list of men who will come with us

We have nothing to run against.

We might have had to get you out of prison by ourselves.

We must look each other in the eye

We need to get you back to the Palace.

We pray,

We share many things.

We still live side by side.

We were allies,

We were an ordinary family from Pasadena,

We were just reminiscing.

We'll place her in a mental institution for a time, and then release her.

We'll see.

We're almost there.

We're under pressure here. We need a new home.

Welcome back, sir.

Welcome home

Welcome.

Well, at least we've acknowledged it.

Well, Aziz is looking after us, as you can see.

Well, I need to see my wife.

Well, they should know it's all exaggerated.

Well?

Well...

Were deployed without my knowledge or consent.

What are you afraid of, Emma?

What are you afraid of, Emma?

What are you doing here?

What are you doing? What's happening?

What are you looking for?

What crimes have we committed?

What did Jamal say?

What does that mean, exactly?

What does that mean?

What what just happened?

What will you do about Jamal?

What?

What?

What?

What's everyone else up to?

What's happening?

Whatever outcome it produces?

Whatever you do, you do it for yourselves.

When I say that you are our commander

When we run against you, we run against ourselves.

Where is Nusrat?

Where you going?

Whether he will live or die, we do not know.

Who want to see someone punished,

Who wouldn't?

Why are we here?

Why did you need to ask me?

Why should I step down?

Why six months?

Why would you ask me that now?

Why?

With a letter of protest to your government

With a patient.

With each other, Al Fayeed.

With everyone around the table together?

With regards to Ihab bin Rashid.

With the help of the Arab League, to take him off our hands.

Without consulting us first?

Y You shot a president.

Yeah, for a while now.

Yeah, yeah, just, uh... just a dream.

Yes, but she also tried to assassinate your father,

Yes, I saw that.

Yes, very.

Yes, we are

Yes.

Yes.

Yes.

Yes.

Yes. That's very good news for us.

You above all others, madame.

You are everywhere, Aziz

You are my son, and I love you,

You are new at this.

You are wrong, madame.

You call elections.

You came to Asima to play a part in the new Abuddin.

You can ask any question you like.

You can either have my back on this,

You can investigate anything.

You can shove forgiveness up your ass.

You can't do this to the people of Ma'an.

You can't let them take their revenge out on me, Bassam.

You crave power.

You delivered no one. There's no deal.

You do?

You don't even think about it anymore

You don't pretend.

You don't waste much time on thank yous, do you?

You force yourself until it becomes the truth.

You found him in the desert?

You have a meeting.

You have a problem with that, too?

You have no political interests.

You know that.

You know the answer to that.

You know who I wish was here right now?

You know, I've, uh...

You know, the ink that proves you voted in an election.

You might at least have given a heads up to your principal ally.

You need time. I'm buying you time.

You never said.

You no longer have the right to be in this office.

You offered us all positions in your government.

You okay?

You okay?

You prayed with them,

You say you want democracy.

You scared me.

You seem nervous.

You should get used to it.

You should talk about this with your wife,

You talked politics by accident.

You think that you are the hero here, hmm?

You understand that, right?

You want to tell me about it?

You want to tell me about it?

You were invited to the Palace for the president's speech.

You will answer to me for this, Colonel.

You won't let them kill me, will you?
