The Knower: Younis's Return (العارف)

In August, 1945, WWII ended with the atomic bomb

This is what we know, right?

But this is not the main reason

That war could have lasted another 3 or 4 years

"Lecture hall, a security agency March 2020"

but for Alan Turing, the mathematician who decrypted the Enigma machine

Enigma was a cipher machine the Brits found in a German submarine

Turing could decrypt it and helped the Allies decipher all German messages

"Cairo, November 2013"

That man could end a war of weapons, but started a fiercer war

The information warfare

Starting that day espionage has become the real war

Any info you get on your enemy even if small or insignificant

will take you one step ahead

A weapon that can be used by any country that can't buy real arms

but can train agents

After the advent of the internet a new kind of spies appeared

A kind that evolves quicker than any weapon does

Spies who don't need to live in enemy states

We know them as hackers

"The hacker with the alias the Knower breaks into a telecom company"

Hackers break into anything

Your phone, laptop, Facebook account

Your car, electricity, aviation

even PlayStation

Anything connected to the internet

"Egyptian hacker the Knower exposes a corrupt businessman"

The most dangerous thing about a hacker is that you don't see him

"The Knower breaks into the secure systems of many major companies"

You can't tell where he'll hit

This has made hackers now

the world's most powerful weapon

A weapon anyone can employ, for good or evil

To build or destroy

But regardless of what any weapon can do, what is it in the end?

An inanimate subject

A slave

But you're not so

because the game is in here

Not here

You'll choose which path to follow

Good or evil

Will you gain from it, or let others gain?

Hackers are smart by nature and often go astray

This makes them mercenaries

More like a weapon

a weapon in the hands of conscienceless people

"Breaking: Downtown Cairo Electricity Company Hacked"

"Access granted"

A group called "Circle Ten" is behind this

They're armed hackers led by a guy called Rady El-Husseiny

He's on terrorist lists in many countries

He works for he who pays more

They're stationed at a factory in Imbaba

A heavily populated area

- We got the drone image - Thermal cam activated

It shows nine elements in that location

We got ten minutes only to go in and out

Then, special forces will step in

We'll make little noise I don't want any casualties

The data they got is what matters

M1, arrived

M2, arrived

M3, arrived

Cut the power off

First element down

Number two, area clear

Ground floor clear

Three

Freeze! On the floor!

M2, go to the server room

Number nine is still alive

"Thermal view"

A moving object in the room to the right

Negative, sir, no room to the right

M2, there is a moving object signal in the room to your right

Move

Got yourself burned, Rady?

Nothing is burned yet Everything will go up in flames

Evacuate!

- Get out! - Quick!

Element number ten arrested

"Algeria, January 2019"

"Derna, Southern Libya"

"God is Greatest"

"There is no god but Allah"

Allah is Greatest

Peace be with you Peace and blessings be with you

Tell me what you think about traitors

Should they be allowed to repent before being killed, or be directly killed?

Whatever you see fit, Maulana

What's your opinion about this, Ghazi?

You know best about such things, Sheikh Abu Anas

- Get up! - No, Maulana!

- Get up! - No god but Allah! It's the last time!

We've been waiting for two weeks but nothing has been done

You promised me

You gave me a list of aliases

Each lives in a different country

I already found two of them

Your men killed them

Because they didn't know where the weapons are

Listen, Ghazi

I didn't see the names on the list I gave you in a dream

It's all confirmed information

As long as I killed them, it means they didn't know the weapons location

If you don't believe me, send one of your men to ask those dead guys

Allah is Greatest!

There is no god but Allah

Listen, Ghazi Breaking a promise is just like treason

I don't have time or patience for such things

Abu Anas

I'm different from all those men around you

I'll make you reach the weapons

I'm bound to reach the weapons

These weapons will change many things

I'm an impatient man

Ghazi

I'm waiting for what we agreed on

You got no excuse

No funeral prayer for him

Forsaking me means forsaking the faith

"Security Agency, Cairo"

Good morning, sir

- Morning, Morad - Hello, Ibrahim

- Hello, sir - Please

You called me "sir, this must be important

Our men in Libya monitored a meeting held by Abu Anas

who traffics weapons into Egypt

This lead us to an important discovery

Isn't that the guy from Circle Ten? He died in the Idlib explosion

Exactly, Rady El-Husseiny aka Ghazi El-Assadi now

That explosion was a cover-up for him to escape

Think this had to do with the hacking attempts on us and other countries then?

Sure, his being alive makes me suspect him

especially those hacking attempts had the same Circle Ten methodology

Found out about the leaks?

I will find out

You must know who's behind the hacking and who benefits from it

and the nature of Rady's relation with Abu Anas

This is why I demand the Knower to be summoned

Younis? He's been staying at his home for two years

Get him involved in this? Really, Morad?

He's been away from the Agency but not from my watchful eyes

"North Coast, February 2019"

Plus, Rady is an open book for him

Surely, you remember how he arrested him before

Younis is an open book for Rady as well

Remember he targeted him and his family before

It's like you're sacrificing him

He's the best for this operation

"The fierce fight over Libya's capital Tripoli intensifying even further"

"following an air strike by the rebel military on the city's only functioning airport"

Younis!

"It is considering a temporary ban..."

Wake up!

Younis, wake up, it's twelve

Younis, get up, dude

Dude!

Yes, Aramex delivered the new game

Okay, dear, sorry

Dad will sleep an hour then wake up and play with you

Younis, you brought me here during the vacation to sleep?

You'd have just left me with mommy

Sorry, dear, I won't sleep an hour

Let's sleep half an hour then wake up and play a lot, come here

- Enough, wake up! - Okay, I'm up

Hello, good morning

What's up? You called many times early in the morning. What is it?

Where are you? My company's system had a cyber attack

I tried to remove the Trojans, but lost control of the keyboard, I can't type

It's a new Trojan called "I love you" It just came out two days ago

Remove the code ending with A045 from the registry

- Way to go, Younis - Call yourself an engineer!

- Bye - Bye

- What was that "I love you" code? - None of your business

- This is my stuff - You won't get up and play with me

- Playing will never end - But the vacation will

Okay, Emad, make me some coffee to focus with this girl

- Happening, sir - You!

Your mom made you a big mouth

No, I take after you

- What to do now? - Push X

I'll push X, here

- Coffee - Thanks

- Step aside, Emad - OK

What?

Wait here

Bummer!

Good morning

- Yes? - We'll talk standing here?

Come in

- Notified him? - Sent him two officers, plus security guys

to give him your orders and escort him back, sir

Dad's friends, Farida

My daughter Farida

Good morning, Farida

Why have they got identical outfits?

- Are you twins? - Farida!

- That was rude, go in there - Will you be long?
