Bassam. Change the subject. Come. I have to run to regain leadership. Jamal (Laughs softly): Bassam... Jamal: He is meeting Ihab Rashid on my orders. Leila: To Abbudin. Sheik Rashid: You've made yourself a friend to the very people who drove me from my home. So, just, just sit with him; that's all you have to do. The President of Abbudin is sitting down with the legendary patriarch of the opposition. We have a wonderfully elegant way out of this.
Plan: A: Jamal; Q: Who meets with Sheik Rashid? A: the rebel opposition leader; Q: Who is Sheik Rashid? A: Bassam's request; Q: Why did Sheik Rashid come out of hiding? A: a peace; Q: What did Bassam want to create? A: the Abuddin Constitution; Q: What does Sheik Rashid want to add elections to? Summary: Jamal meets with the rebel opposition leader, Sheik Rashid, who had come out of hiding on Bassam's request to create a peace, adding elections to the Abuddin Constitution. However, as the time to officiate the changes draws near, Jamal begins to wonder if Bassam is trying to do more than just guide him.
