Tyrant

Previously on "Tyrant"

It's Barry, Bassam.

I'm coming... for my nephew's wedding.

It's not just me, you know. Dad doesn't want to go either.

Why do you think he hasn't been back in 20 years?

Little brother.

Jamal.

The wedding night is very special.

It would break Ahmed's heart

if the woman he married wasn't pure.

There it is.

I'm beginning to think he's insane.

I'm here as a man and a servant of Allah.

Did anyone appoint me?

Protests like these need to be strangled in their crib.

Peaceful demonstration is a basic human right.

I am the true voice of Abbudin,

not this terrorist, Ihab Rashid.

So you want to have a coup, oust your own brother?

There will be no peace in Abbudin

with my brother in power.

He has to be removed.

For the sake of our family, us,

I'm asking you to come home with us.

Don't expect us to come back.

I'm sorry, Jamal.

I didn't want it to be this way.

We both need to pick our friends better.

General, you may arrest your prisoner.

Jamal will rule this country for the rest of his life.

Men in prison get out of prison.

As long as he's alive, you're not safe.

I will sentence my brother to death.

If you don't want to show him mercy,

show mercy to me.

Hurry. We'll be late to the Palace.

Knight to queen's bishop 3.

What?

It's my move.

I'm done playing, Jamal.

Well, I'm not.

Knight to queen's bishop 3.

You look thin.

Yeah, well, my, um...

my appetite's not what it used to be.

Just let me see Molly.

I'll bring you some cookies,

the pecan ones you like

from the baker next to the Grey Mosque.

Gift-wrapped apologies?

You think I'm apologizing to you?

Why would I apologize to you?

I'm waiting for you

to say "Sorry."

Just once.

I'm sorry.

I am.

I'm sorry I put us in this position.

That's not what I meant.

Jamal...

I did what I had to do.

Now, please...

please...

do what you have to do.

You can't force me to move.

I have the upper hand.

I could keep you in here, my prisoner,

for the rest of your life.

These keep cropping up.

Faster than we can cover them.

Not just Ma'an, but here in Asima.

Even behind bars,

Bassam is galvanizing the students and the liberals.

Not all of them.

I've been working with students, hundreds of them,

who want a unified and peaceful Abbudin.

Who tell you what you want to hear because they fear you.

Your cynicism is an occupational hazard.

These are just a few troublemakers and idealists.

A few?

Almost a million

tweets and social media postings calling to free Bassam.

And these are just from the last three days.

Shut down the service.

It isn't the service that needs shutting down.

It's been three weeks

since the trial court pronounced the death sentence.

What's Jamal waiting for?

He won't talk about it.

Not even to you?

Has Jamal lost his nerve?

It's raising questions.

I understand.

Alive, Bassam gives the people hope.

Dead, he'd be forgotten.

And your husband would be free from his brother's living ghost.

It's time to show the world that Abbudin is open for business.

With our new friends from China,

we will develop these fields.

Thousands of jobs will be created for the people of Ma'an.

And they will have you to thank.

Me?

I'm appointing you Minister of Energy Development,

effective immediately.

What do you say?

I don't know anything about the oil business.

You will learn.

We will learn together.

The thing is I've been talking to some investors from Dubai

about opening a boutique hotel.

The site that we're looking at is in London,

so I... I would have to relocate.

Why would you move to a place without sun?

I don't mind the rain.

And the people,

their skin looks like cheese.

It's a good opportunity.

I can show you the business plan as soon as we're finished.

Son, I give you the chance

to bring Abbudin into the 21st century,

and you want to open a boutique hotel in London.

You tell your friends from Dubai

to find another partner who's name isn't Al Fayeed.

Here we found artifacts from over 4,000 years ago of a vibrant trade.

So not only has Abbudin been at the crossroads

of the world's economy for millennia,

it is also the source of an ancient culture

shared by all of us who call Abbudin home.

Halima Nair made that film

to introduce our cultural treasures

to your great nation.

Like Halima, these students all hail from Ma'an.

As First Lady, I've enlisted them

to serve as ambassadors of the president's vision

for the future of Abbudin.

This is just a sample of the artifacts they've excavated,

which will be exhibited next year at the Louvre.

Please, feel free to ask the students any questions you have.

Your soldiers have been targeted by a series

of terrorist attacks in Ma'an.

Aren't you worried that the insurgency will undermine

these lofty plans?

Our hearts are heavy with the pain

for the loss of our brave soldiers,

but we will not allow a few troublemakers,

enemies of peace, to stand in the way of our dream

for a united and peaceful Abbudin.

Next time, let's find someone closer to my size.

Musa, cover the bomb.

Malik, this arms the trigger, okay?

Don't worry, Coach.

I'll see you soon.

Okay, let's go.

Everyone take different routes back to the safe house.

Yes.

Just have to take a piss.

Hey, you!

Stop!

Mr. President, General Tariq.

Hello.

Yes, Uncle.

How many?

I'm here.

Convene the council.

One of Rashid's men just killed seven of my soldiers.

The week before, he killed a dozen.

You should be ordering me to clear Ma'an street by street

instead of tying my hands.

Ahmed, did you hear me tell my uncle

not to retaliate?
