The Worthy Page #4

of this pack of dumbfucks?

Trust should not simply be given.

It should be earned.

Now I know where you keep your food,

your water, and your weapons.

Good-bye now...

fearless leader.

The unworthy.

I am the Aleph and the Ya'a.

The beginning and the end.

The time has come to separate

the strong from the weak.

The worthy...

from the unworthy.

Qais.

Dad.

No!

Let go of her!

Get me something!

A bandage, towel, anything! Daoud...

No.

Stay awake.

We're right here with you.

Maryam.

Eissa.

I'm sorry.

No. No. No!

See what happens when you let strangers in?

This is all your fault.

Daoud.

Eissa, dear. Wait.

Eissa!

Where are you?

Come out, you bastard!

Come out!

Get out of the way.

Move!

Where do you think you're going?

What?

What's the matter with you?

What's the matter with all of you?

What's going on?

Don't you realize who just got killed?

Have you all forgotten who saved you?!

Where are you now?

Where are you?!

You're not going anywhere!

- I'm gonna kill him.

- Not tonight.

I'm gonna kill him!

Not tonight you're not!

We need to see to Dad.

Don't worry.

Mussa must be gone by now.

You should get some sleep.

I'm okay.

Stay.

May he rest in peace.

What are we going to do now?

I don't know.

What were we doing before?

My father found a way to keep us safe.

But he didn't plan for the future.

Do you really think he ran away?

Mussa?

I don't know...

I didn't mean what I said yesterday.

It's not your fault.

You're a good man, Eissa.

Father would have laughed

hearing you say that.

The world was falling apart all around us, but your dad

still made sure everyone knew you were team captain.

I meant the "man" part.

He never treated me like one.

It's men's work you're doing now.

The people inside here

are relying on you and your sister.

And so am I.

I'm only alive today thanks to your dad.

Consider me your right hand from now on.

May he rest in peace.

May he rest in peace.

What?

I'll wash them later.

What's wrong?

- What happened to the water?

- What do you mean?

We're f***ed.

Water's been cut.

Gotta go out to the tower.

I'll go with you.

No.

I won't let you go out there alone!

Daoud, Qais, let's go.

What's wrong?

We're going to the water tower.

Stay here, Qais.

I'll go.

Fine.

Eissa.

It's not gonna happen.

One of us has to stay here.

Fine.

You still upset with me?

Don't forget to lock up behind us.

Two knocks, we're clear.

Three, there's trouble.

Don't worry.

Should we make a run for it?

It won't make a difference.

Save your energy.

Just be ready.

Hold this.

Eissa, wait.

Let me climb.

You don't have to.

Yes, I do.

Carry your weight.

That's what your father always said.
