Tyrant

Previously on "Tyrant"

I demand to sit down with President Jamal Al Fayeed.

He demands?

This is it.

You can finish something our father couldn't.

Where should we start?

If you allow there to be open and free

elections for the office of president of Abbudin.

The constitution does not call for these elections.

And in fact, may have created for ourselves the mechanism of

our own demise.

No hello?

No "I missed you"?

There are people that have come from all over the world

to see you do what you are about to do. You are making

history today.

Well, Sheik Rashid may have been trying to stir the pot

when he called you Jamal's lion tamer, but he wasn't wrong, huh?

Can we all stop talking about that?

A lot of people in this room...

would've never believed

that he'd go for this kind of political reform.

And if you hadn't brought him to the table, I suspect some of

them might have forced the issue.

What do you mean, "forced the issue"?

Jamal's lucky you're here.

Let's leave it at that.

Don't underestimate my brother.

Sheik Rashid just collapsed in the men's room.

They're saying he's dead.

Jesus.

What happened?

He must have fallen.

He's not breathing.

No, no, no!

You don't touch my father!

- (Barry) We're both doctors. - (Molly) He needs help.

Ihab, Ihab, please.

His forehead is contused.

You, you, you saw no one coming in and out of here

after my father, hmm?

No, sir.

No one?!

I want full access to the security videos.

Ihab... I'll personally make sure you get everything you need.

Wait, wait, I got a pulse.

It's thready, but it's definitely there. He's in respiratory arrest.

How far out are the EMTs?

They're coming up now.

Okay, begin CPR.

Someone keep his neck stable.

Give me your phone, I'll page Dr. Mansour.

He's Chief of Neurology at the hospital.

You're at the airport?

I'm about to make my connection in Heathrow.

I almost missed my flight...

Saved by mechanical trouble again.

How's that for dumb luck?

Sorry, it's in here somewhere.

Hey, Aunt Jenna's coming.

Here?

When?

Now.

Aw, you got to hand it to her.

The thing is, this really isn't such a good to visit.

Oh, and, Em... don't tell your mother.

I want to surprise her.

Because you know how much Mom loves surprises.

Love you, guys. (panting)

Very excited. (laughing)

Bring it to me.

Because I want to see it for myself.

Hmm.

My people have reviewed the security video from the hotel.

And?

And... Father was alone... in the bathroom.

You seem disappointed.

No.

Ihab.

There's been no evidence of foul play.

I don't trust the Al Fayeeds.

Those Al Fayeeds just saved our father's life.

Are you coming?

And pretend to be concerned about the sheik's well-being?

Maybe this is Allah's way of telling you how foolish this election is.

You finished?

Take me back to the Palace.

There was significant subdural swelling,

so we had to induce a coma to relieve the pressure on the

brain stem, so his condition is stable, at least for now.

So... from everyth...

from... everything you have seen, you are sure he fell?

We won't know exactly what happened until he is conscious.

Usually the drugs take 24 hours to wear off and then we will get

a sense of really what we are looking at here.

But he will wake up?

Look, he is not young and he has preexisting medical issues.

But if there are no further complications, I am reasonably

hopeful that he will regain consciousness.

Out of respect for your father's condition, I have

postponed the signing.

If there is anything you need, anything at all, just ask.

I have put the hospital staff on notice as well.

Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. President.

May I have a word, Bassam?

So... the doctor said he could still wake up?

He could, but given his age, it's, you know...

So, you don't think so?

Jamal, I don't know.

If you were to guess 50-50, 60-40?

Is this why you brought me in here?

I needed 100%.

Look, I want him to wake up, too, but, uh,

he's an old man, so...

I need it to be 100%

that he doesn't.

Why?

What difference does it make?

It's what I need.

He just can't wake up.

Who knows what he's going to say.

He could lie... Try and blame everything that's happened to him on me.

Jamal, what did you do?

He was mocking me.

Okay.

So, what did you do?

When the sheik wakes up, what is he going to say?

He's not going to wake up, Bassam.

You're my brother.

I need you to see to it.

I already took care of the security video at the hotel.

Oh, my God.

The sheiks trust you.

They think you saved their father's life.

You just slip into the room... give him something... finish the job.

I'll sign the amendment.

We'll hold the elections, just like you planned, just like you want.

Do you hear yourself?

Fine.

Let's just let him wake up.

Tell his story, forget your precious elections.

Let's have a civil war.

This what you want?

You know what I want?

I want to go home.

I'm done here.

Fine. Go.

Run away, Bassam, like you always do.

It's all your fault anyway.

These elections were a stupid idea.

All the king's horses and all the king's men... (scoffs)

I finally get it, Jamal.

I do.

You're broken.

And I can't fix you.

Tyrant S01E07 "Preventative Medicine"

Sync and corrected by Gianluca Belfiglio

I'm not normally superstitious, Jamal, I don't

believe in signs or symbols, but... this accident could be an omen

we should heed.

Did you know we have a compound in the Maldives?

Did you hear what I just said?

This is an opportunity for you to call off these ridiculous elections.

It just sits there, untouched, unoccupied.

Palm trees... swaying in the wind.

I was 11 the last time I was there.

I spent the whole day making this.

That's the last time I felt completely free.

We should go.

Tonight.

To the Maldives?

We can lay on the beach naked.

No one will even know who we are.

We'll be anonymous.

Why would you want to be anonymous?

You are an Al Fayeed.

In my lifetime, I have killed seven people.

Did you know that?

Seven.

Six... on the field of battle.

One in a bar in Tangiers.

One of my own men called my father an exterminator.

I crushed his skull with a table leg.

Why are you telling me this?

Because I want you to know I know how to kill a man.

I know what death feels like when it's present.

I think I must have confused the smell of old age... of infirmity...

with death.

When I heard the sound his skull made against the tile, I was

sure he was dead.

Apparently I... I was wrong.
