Tyrant

Previously on "Tyrant"

The sons of Tal Jiza

will become soldiers in the Army of the Caliphate.

Oh, shit.

Please look after my sons.

I'm not going with the Caliphate. I have to leave.

You ran away from your family.

Now I ask you a favor, you run away from me.

If you want her, take her.

No.

- Bring her. - No.

No!

Meet Rami Said.

Rami, this is my wife, Leila.

How do you two know each other?

He's your son.

If you stay, I'll make you

a very powerful man in the army.

I need to leave now, but thank you for the offer.

The legal team

representing the Al Fayeed trust is contesting the will.

You need to appear in court,

in Abuddin.

These men have come to destroy my country.

- I can't keep running anymore. - But what will you do?

Whatever God's will allows me to do.

After three days of intense fighting

and with its military base overrun,

- sources are today confirming -

that the Abuddinian city

of Ma'an has fallen to the Caliphate.

Government troops protecting the Ma'an oil field

were unable to stop

the advance of the radical group

now said to control over 90% of the city while...

And its new leader,

self-proclaimed Emir of Abuddin, Ihab Rashid.

Two fighter jets,

three attack choppers and a cargo transporter

destroyed or disabled by their anti-aircraft.

With what was seized at the base,

it amounts to roughly a third of our air force.

Did you have anything to eat?

I can have the kitchen prepare something for you.

I don't want anything.

Then you should at least get some rest.

Dr. Radwan can prescribe you something.

Stop haranguing me, Leila.

You see what's happening, what I'm dealing with.

I'm meeting with the Chinese.

Food and sleep are the least of my concerns.

Then you should at least consider a shower

and some fresh clothes.

No! No!

Where are your people?

There's no one else.

We know your

Banu Zahra clan is still giving us trouble,

- so I'll ask you again. -

Where are they hiding?

No.

You have all my people.

The rest are with Allah.

Cheer up.

You'll be reunited with them tomorrow

when we hang you.

That's more than enough time

time for Uthal to get the truth.

Abu Omar.

You have been gone for days.

Tell me you have something.

We found Faisel.

He and his man are dead.

That Khalil who kidnapped Faisel's wife,

he did this?

We think so.

- Something else. - Uh-huh?

Faisel's hand was cut off,

but it's not with the bodies.

You have all been cheated

for far too long from refinery managers

who collaborated with the Al Fayeeds.

From now on,

the workers will get 20 cents on the dollar.

This won't do any good, Baba.

I have to try to reason with him.

Good work.

With utmost respect,

I appeal to your mercy

- and your sense of justice. - Go. Let's go.

You heard him. Let's go. Let's move.

Abu Omar has claimed my wife, Daliyah,

as his own.

She is, by all rights, still mine.

Please... accept this money

in return for her.

It may not seem much to you,

but this is all the money I have in the world.

I can get more, if that's what it takes.

Please take it.

Please give me back my Daliyah.

Your wife is safe with us.

Abu Omar is simply reeducating her

on how she can best serve Allah.

So keep your money.

You're going to need it to rebuild your village,

rebuild your home. Keep it.

You already have my two oldest sons,

Munir and Kasim,

fighting for you, loyal to you.

But my youngest, Ghani,

he still needs his mother.

Father.

You heard him.

You have to go.

Your wife, she's...

she's serving a higher cause now.

Kasim, you know this is wrong.

Come on. Come.

Father, please, just go, okay?

Please, just... Okay? Just go.

What are you after?

Money? Take it!

- It's all I have! - It's me.

- Khalil? - Let's go.

Come on.

I've been in the city for three days.

I was beginning to think I wouldn't find you.

But you ran away.

I thought this wasn't my fight.

But I was wrong.

I have to find the resistance.

So, not a coward after all, then, huh?

But you're not a soldier, either, Khalil, are you?

Who are you?

Really.

Someone who's tired of running from this place.

I spent too much of my life doing that.

I'm joining my cousins in the east of the city,

the Banu Zahra clan.

They're putting up the biggest fight.

I can take you to them.

Ahmos, I promise I'll do whatever I can here.

Go back to your village.

Go back to Nasrin and Ghani.

How can I return to Ghani without his mother?

No.

I'm not leaving this city without her.

This is a temporary setback.

Our army can retake Ma'an, I assure you.

Like you assured me this man, Rashid,

would be caught after my wife was shot?

Like you assured me

he would never reach the oil refinery

he now controls?

He won't be able to hold it,

not if your country gives us the weapons we need,

and which you are obligated to provide.

We have no such obligation.

Actually, you do, Ambassador.

Per the terms of our treaty,

China would provide us J-20 fighter jets,

WZ-551 armored assault vehicles...

All I'm asking is an advance.

Those terms

were defined as military support

to protect your borders

against foreign threats.

My government refuses to be drawn

into your civil war.

These are foreign invaders.

And we have a signed defense pact.

Contingent upon you holding your country together.

Maybe gassing your citizens

isn't the best way to go about this.

You dare to play

the human rights card with me, you puppet?

Look to your own country for that.

We are done here.

Jamal, you need to go after him.

You must apologize to him.

Jamal.

Jamal, you need to go after them.

Without the Chinese,

we don't have the men to retake Ma'an.

Not without redeploying troops needed to stem the spread

of the Caliphate in the north.
