Tyrant

Previously on Tyrant...

I'm an Al Fayeed. That means I'm a powerful man here.

Are you saying you want to stay?

Jamal, it's, uh, it's me, Bassam.

What would you think if I hung around for a while?

Yes.

I would like to make Bassam Special Council to the President.

My name's Sammy, by the way.

Abdul.

And I thought maybe we could hang out?

I'd be disappointed if we didn't.

Ahmed.

Stop.

Please.

What the hell were you doing with those men?

Ihab Rashid?

I was trying to make a difference.

Something you wouldn't understand.

We have captured Ihab Rashid and ten of his followers.

Well, I'm not sure if it matters to you, but you're about to execute the wrong man.

What would you have me do?

Open the jails and set everyone free?

Yeah.

It's done, brother.

Allahu Akbar.

Allahu Akbar.

It might work.

Don't talk about it.

The doctor suggested...

That's talking about it.

We could try again, that's all.

If we try and I fail, I will feel worse. Change the subject.

You were up early.

Yeah, I couldn't sleep.

It's, um... It's the 23rd.

I know.

One anniversary that I'd like to forget.

I saw you praying.

Is that a problem?

Oh, not as long as you're praying for a job.

I'm tired of just bread.

Bread is what we have.

Where are you going?

To see a man.

About a job?

Yes.

Soon, you will have more than bread for breakfast.

You will have all the fruit... and cheese... and eggs you can eat.

I promise.

Good-bye, my love.

Return with work. You'll have kisses then.

Bye, Papa.

Eat.

Plus, honey, it happened 20 years ago.

What happened?

Uh... Your father wants Uncle Jamal to acknowledge

the anniversary of the gas attack in Ma'an.

Yeah, that's the least you can do, considering 20,000 people were killed.

Yeah. Who were trying to kill us.

Acknowledging the past is one thing, but why invite the

comparison between your father and Jamal?

Well, that's the point.

As an Al Fayeed and as president...

Unelected.

He can't avoid the comparison, sitting in that chair.

Don't you mean throne?

Geez, what's your problem with us being royalty?

Sammy, this isn't a monarchy. You are not royalty.

Right. We're just grandchildren of a war criminal.

Emma!

Reema, do people still talk about what happened in Ma'an?

Not really.

Everyone knows what happened, right?

Guys, don't put her on the spot.

You're making her uncomfortable. I'm sorry, Reema.

We will eat when it's time for lunch.

But I am hungry.

Maybe next time your mother tells you to come for breakfast, you will come.

Never forget, Ma'an!

Never forget the Al Fayeed's crime against humanity!

Like father, like son!

Never forget Ma'an!

Never forget!

Down with the tyrant!

Like father, like son!

Down with the tyrant!

Never forget Ma'an!

Never forget!

Put that down. Put it down!

Do you know what I went through to get you this job?

You will lose it, or worse. That has nothing to do with us.

Do your work. Do your work!

Tyrant S01E04 "Sins of the Father"

Sync and corrected by Gianluca Belfiglio

Thank you, sister.

Your husband was a great hero of the resistance.

Don't speak as if you knew him!

You will have... glorious martyr's funeral.

Please... just leave.

I want to be great hero like my father.

Leave here. Leave us be.

I do not pretend to have known Kazim very well.

But I know how hard he worked to provide for his family.

Until the Al Fayeeds replaced him with one of their cronies.

But you will see, their time is coming to an end sooner than you think, and...

your husband...

your husband's courageous act will be remembered as the first

great act of defiance in our liberation.

Peace be on you and your children.

But you will see, their time is coming to an

end sooner than you think, and...

So Ihab Rashid is behind all this.

A man I had in custody.

For something he hadn't done.

Immaterial.

He's an enemy of the state. Condemned by his own words.

Mr. President, it's clear to me that we need to clear the square.

- It's a peaceful protest. - (Ziad) It is an unlawful gathering.

Is there such a thing here as a lawful gathering?

Your brother is now a constitutional advisor?

Let him speak.

He has nothing to say.

General.

Peaceful demonstration is a basic human right.

I'm just trying to imagine what storm troopers hauling away

nonviolent protestors is gonna look like when it goes viral on YouTube.

Bassam, what do you suggest I do?

Go down to the square.

Make a statement acknowledging our father's regrettable act.

Regretted by who?

It was a war crime.

I don't recall seeing Harry Truman in irons after Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

This, uh, so-called, uh, Ma'an Massacre brought peace

after four years of civil war.

I was proud to carry out your father's order and

would again without hesitation. Protests like these need to be strangled in their crib.

Ihab Rashid is trying to claim the moral high ground

by tying you to our father's crime, but don't let him.

Go to the square and show the people that you respect their

rights, that you'll rule differently... That's what this is really about.

Colonel, secure a place for me in the square to address the people.

Mr. President...

My brother is right. I am the true voice of Abbudin,

not this terrorist pretender Ihab Rashid.

Our people will thrill to their president's words.

This is Abdul Naqvi.

Leave your name and number and I'll call you back.

Hey, Abdul, it's, uh, Sammy.

Did, um... did I miss something?

How... How come you're not calling me back?

Cousin.

Hey.

This is my trainer Anna.

Hi.

Grandfather brought her over from East Germany, back when there was an East Germany.

She took bronze in the decathlon in the '88 Olympics.

Impressive. Congratulations.

I'm the one who deserves a medal.

Dropping 20 pounds for my wedding.

Go on, Anna.

I'll meet you in the gym.

So, cousin, Nusrat's been a little, um, under the weather.

I've been trying to cheer her up.

Anyway, I told her I wanted to take her to the club tonight with some friends.

She didn't want to go.

But I told her that you and Emma were coming.

Um... I'll ask Emma, but I'm not really up for going out tonight.

Trust me, you'll want to be there.

The Nasr twins are flying in from Kuwait.

The, um, Nasr twins?

Sabina and Nashina.
