Your children can return home.

-For sure?

Absolutely.

You hear, Mom?

-We paid for a "peace request",

as a down payment.

Why?

For a 3 days cease fire.

We have a 3 days to reach

an agreement.

Bear in mind that

it will cost a lot of money.

It will be expensive.

How will we pay?

God the Almighty will help.

Praise God, but you know we're...

-God will help.

Let's hope they agree to reconcile.

We'll settle the amount

and move on from there.

Let me.

Go finish your homework.

If I need you. I'll call.

Thank you very much.

Can't someone tell them that.

-No.

They want to kill.

It's not my children's fault.

It's his uncle.

They don't care.

It's the same family.

Not just him, they want to kill

the entire family.

Money is the only solution.

Did you talk to your uncle?

He is in hospital,

detained by the police.

Anyway he's broke.

He got nothing but debts.

What can I do?

I'm like Yihyah.

Without money or power...

you're nothing.

No one would care if you die.

It's a jungle.

The strong eats the weak.

What are you doing here?

What are you doing here,

you ass?

I came an hour ago.

-Who brought you?

I came.

-Who brought you?

-Bedouin village, south of Israel-

Welcome.

Please consider, Judge...

-Go ahead.

The uncle was working in his cafe,

One of the Abul-Zen family

showed up.

carrying a gun,

and shooting in the air.

It was a question of shooting

or being shot.

God wanted us to shoot first.

We don't deny shooting.

It was self defense.

Why should we attack him?

Why?

Why should we attack him?

Was it greed?

By God, we're not greedy.

He shot us and abandoned us,

forcing us to defend our pride.

-May God protect you.

Is this someone to shoot?!

A child?!

Shooting the uncle wasn't enough.

They wanted Omar too.

Omar sold his car to his neighbour.

They came looking for Omar.

As the neighbour was fixing the tire

they shot and killed him.

It is your call, Judge.

-May God protect you.

Yes, Abu Muhammad.

-It's not true.

They can't prove I ever killed

anyone. I'm innocent.

They are the attackers.

-Right!

I wanted to solve it peacfully,

but he disappeared.

May God protect you!

I ask refuge from the devil.

In the name of God.

Say a prayer for the Prophet!

the first 3 days

are 3,000 Dinars.

Did you write?

-Yes.

Add 37 days

multiplied by 500 Dinars.

The man who lost his manhood,

can't bear children or work...

Yes.

-Owed to Abul-Zen family.

Reduce one third

as a courtesy to the judge.

Now to the man

who was shot in the legs.

Also in the belly.

-Okay.

Is your injury

permenant or temporary?

By the fear of God,

Permenant.

Then it's a "half dead".

Did you write? -Yes.

Reduce one third. What's left?
