Soon, I will get out.

We'll be together.

-If God wills it

before you die

and be buried by your side.

Fear not, my son.

Be a man.

-Your son is a fighter.

-Here comes the warden.

I'll leave you.

Remember what I said.

Be a man.

Abdelkader.

By taking care of you,

you are taking care of me.

May God be with you.

May God bless you.

-God bless you.

-That's her?

-Yes. That's her.

-Have you talked to her?

-Yes.

-What did you tell her?

-Good.

We're there.

-Is that right, Bigalle?

-Pigalle.

Not with a B. With a P.

Otherwise, they'll laugh at you.

Come with me.

Sit down over there.

It will be your place.

Understood?

And tomorrow, we

share the money.

Good...

Go. Thank you.

-Thanks.

-Wait. Listen carefully.

One whore, not bad.

Two whores...

You're doing.

-I'm hungry.

-Yes, come on.

-Good morning.

-How did you do?

I will return the rest tonight.

-Okay.

-Take it, buy yourself some clothes.

-Even if I had to stay

naked all my life

I wouldn't want your money.

God is my witness.

-Zohra...

It's for my mother.

Don't tell her it's from me.

-Said?

-Messaoud?

My brother?

Messaoud!

Messaoud, my brother!

Where have you been,

where were you?

-You have become a man.

-What else?

-Come and see!

-My son,

my treasure!

-I missed you.

-And you, my son!

-You've become a man.

-You've lost weight.

-He's a commander! Fantastic!

-Your eyes...

-What's happened to them?

-That's war.

-Soon, Abdelkader will be

out of jail.

You are the eldest.

You have to take care

of the family.

I would have liked you to see

your Dad before he died.

There's a girl right here,

pleasant, intelligent.

If you like her, it relies on God.

-Where's she from?

-From our corner, just like us.

-If God wills it.

-If God wills it.

-Abdelkader.

I have to talk to you.

You know, Ho Chi Minh...

won the war against France

thanks to two principles.

The first principle

is that oppression

always has its benefits

to the cause of the people who

want to liberate themselves.

The second principle,

is to never, ever abandon

a mission.

Nothing is insurmountable.

All Algerians, all of them

must pay their toll for revolution.

Within two days, you

will be free.

You must lead all

Algerians from the suburbs

and also here in Paris.

-How?

You convince anyone.

One convinces 3 who each convince 6.

Each of the six convinces ten.

I'll give you an address.

And remember it well.

You'll deliver your

reports there

and receive orders.

Okay?

-Count on me.

I will not betray the Algerians.

Let me, ma'am.

-Abdelkader!

My life, my treasure,

you're finally here!

I thank God.

Come my heart, let's go home.

-How are you, Mom?
