Oh.

If Halim is up to it...

Hmm!

...we will escort you to

your port of emigration.

Now.

What, now?

Oh.

Well, I'll help you pack up your things.

All your work.

No, you'll clean up and then leave.

We will deal with his

personal effects later.

Sergeant, come on now.

Surely, there's time to gather...

You will come with us now.

Unless you want to remain locked up

here for another seven years.

Hmm-hmm.

Difficult decision, that one.

Here is your final pay.

After today, your services

are no longer required.

I'm so sorry, Kamila.

I hope that you will find work soon.

Your visits have been

a bright spot in my time here.

Goodbye.

Thank you, Mustafa, for everything.

Ugh.

And please say goodbye

to my new friend, Almitra.

I wish we had had more time.

What?

Mmm.

Ha!

I should have known. The silent thief.

You're developing quite the reputation

at the marketplace.

Don't think you're too young to spend

a few nights in jail, my friend.

Heh! And you, too!

Ow!

Rat traps!

Halim!

Almitra, no!

You heard the Sergeant.

We can't afford any more trouble.

I know, I know. I'm gonna miss him, too.

All right, I guess I'd better finish up.

Look! It's the poet!

Mustafa?

Is he free?

It's been so long.

Mustafa!

- Have you been freed?

- Where are they taking you?

To the harbor. This is a happy day.

For all of you, of course, but for me too!

I'm being released. I'm going home.

- Great!

- Wonderful!

Then you must join us in celebrating!

Absolutely not!

We have a schedule to stick to.

Sergeant! You don't

like braised lamb shank?

All right. Five minutes, not a moment longer!

Yes, yes, thank you.

Strike up the band.

We have two occasions to celebrate.

Kissing. That's all he knows.

Give her time to eat, for heaven's sake.

Mmm.

They're newlyweds. That's what

they're supposed to do, right?

Who knows? The last time

I kissed a pretty girl,

the Dead Sea was only sick.

- Enough.

- Grandpa.

Oh.

Thank you.

I've missed this!

A toast to the happy couple!

And for Mustafa!

To love and freedom!

To love and freedom!

To freedom!

To love?

Mustafa,

please, would you give a blessing

to my daughter's marriage?

It would be my honor.

"You were born together

And together you shall be forevermore

"You shall be together when

The white wings of death scatter your days

"Yes, you shall be together

Even in the silent memory of God

"But let there be spaces

In your togetherness

"And let the winds of the heavens

Dance between you

"Love one another

But make not a bond of love

"Let it rather be a moving sea

"Between the shores of your souls

"Fill each other's cup

But drink not from one cup

"Give one another of your bread
