TEXT: Barry: I need an hour with Sheik Rashid. John: So, you want to use Sheik Rashid to do an end run around Ihab? Does your brother even know you're here? Sheik Rashid: You understand our precautions? Yesterday you were my enemy. But today you are my guest. Jamal: He is meeting Ihab Rashid on my orders. Tariq: Bassam's been nowhere near Ihab in the last 24 hours. Jamal: That is wrong. Leila: We could try again, that's all. Jamal: We try and I fail... I will feel worse. Change the subject. I trusted you; You are my blood and you betrayed me. John: Uh... you need to see something. (Smacks lips) Sheik Rashid: I demand to sit down with President Jamal Al Fayeed! Jamal: He demands? Barry: Jamal. You can end this... Without firing a shot. This is what you wanted. (Audience cheering over TV) Jamal: Is it? General, tell your men to stand down. Tariq: But, Mr. President? Jamal: You lied to me. Barry: Failed to inform you of my every move, yes. Jamal: No, you didn't fail to inform, you lied, and right now you are lying again to me. For God's sake, I'm your brother. Your blood. Barry: Jamal, can't we just talk about the result? It's the result that ultimately matters. Jamal: Why do you want to talk about the result? (Barry sighs) The result sickens me. You were supposed to offer one tribal monkey the opportunity to talk to me, and instead tribal monkey's father demands to talk to me. (Sighs) I'm not a fool. But you are making me look like a fool. Barry: You won't look like a fool. Yes, it-it would have been nice if things had happened the way we wanted, but the net-net is the same. The President of Abbudin is sitting down with the legendary patriarch of the opposition. Do you have any how huge that is? How great that is? Jamal:
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.
