Mousa (2021) - full transcript

Dear residents
evacuate the area immediately

It's very dangerous and unsafe
for you and your children...

We're close to the target, sir

Wait for my orders out on the
street and stay alert

Roger, sir

Moussa didn't do anything wrong
I'm to blame

If anyone has to be punished

it would be me, not Moussa

Dr. Fares, the kid uploaded the video
on all channels

- No one gets in
- Alright

We're on our way, once you have eyes
the target, take him down



The guy is inside
And we did as you ordered

No one gets in there
Stay outside

Evacuate!

Yehya

Yehya

I know
The guys are tough

But it's good you're still alive

Listen, Yehya
This car is very fast

It can go up to 500 km per hour

I programmed a computer
control module

to increase the engine power

I need to find a way to enlarge
the tube without loosing pressure

Twin Turbo

You!



Come

Faster

Solve the equation the way
I explained it, here you go

But that's not how I explained it

Your approach is outdated

This is a faster one

If you like, sir, I can...

- Explain it to you
- Wait! What?

Explain it to me?

Did you think you're in university
to teach the professors?

What does your father do?

- He was an engineer
- He was? May he rest in peace

- Go back to your seat
- No

My father didn't die

He quit engineering

- He makes watches now
- A watchmaker

Your dad sent you here
so you'd become a watchmaker?

You're here to listen
Not to think

Listen! Get out! You're an idiot
You wouldn't understand anyway, out

Are you crazy or dumb?
Or blind?

- Stop it
- Get up if you're man! Get up!

Hey! Hey!
Hey! Hey!

Enough, man!
This is just silly!

If you want
I'll make a show out of you here

Go ahead, leave
It is just 3 pounds

Why are you meddling?
Are you his lawyer?

Yes, I'm his lawyer!
Take your stuff and leave!

It's not like
it's the first time, Yehya!

They always call you crazy

You're like your father, or you don't
know that your father is crazy?

- Of course I know
- You nasty!

Tell me, Yehya

Are you upset because
of what happened?

Or because it happened
in front of Maryam?

No! No! Careful with this gear

It's rare
You can't find it in Egypt

Thank God, it's working

Yehya!
Let's do something fun, son

Let's go out
and get some fresh air

You want to go to the shack?

A long time ago, Yehya

I used to like going
to the shack to relax

And think about your mom
May she rest in peace

Now I'm scared to open the door
so it wouldn't explode in my face!

Uncle Saleh

What else do you want, Nasser?

- Where's my daughter, Samah?
- Samah went to her parents' house

So that they save her and protect her

from the insults and abuse
she endured with you

Did I pick her up
from the Four Seasons?

- She was just your maid!
- Man!

The police keeps raiding her house

They insult her and disrespect her
And why?

Because she is married to you
Go away

Go, son
May God forgive you

Go, Nasser
May God forgive you

Fine

Listen, Saleh!

Saleh?
What, Mr. Nasser?

Who told the police
about my new location?

- Was it Samah?
- No

- I did
- I thought so

Think whatever you want

But keep in mind
if you mistreat Samah

- you'd be mistreating me
- Fair enough!

Since you're hiding behind
the ghost you brought to this life

What do you think, ghost?

Come, Yehya, show me
what you've done at the shack

Come on! Come
Let's go, Yehya

It's been so long...
It's Yehya's now!

Do you remember when you told me
that mom, may she rest in peace

got pregnant before me
and the baby was stillborn?

And if he was alive
he'd be my older brother?

Do you remember what
would've been his name?

Moussa

Moussa

What does it do?

I programmed it
to be controlled by this VR

that I connect to the spinal cord

to the temporal lobes in the brain

And I control him
to do whatever I think of

What's that?

Really nice

Take that thing
and sell it at a toy store

When kids see this

they'd kill each other
and their parents

They would stop at nothing
to get it

May you rest in peace, Zeinab

God saved her from you and me

But, why save her from you?

Good evening

Yehya, are you okay?

I'm sorry I came unannounced

I called many times
but his phone was off

Don't worry, child
This thing is to blame

- Ok, excuse me, uncle
- No, no, don't worry

Come in! Welcome!

Maryam?

Do you love Yehya?

- You sympathize with him
- No!

- Did he tell you how we met?
- Yes

He told me about the girl
who flipped his headset

I once had a piano rehearsal
and needed earphones

I saw a guy in the corner
with a headset bigger than his head

I took it from him

Two hours later, I came back to give
it back but he wasn't there

I asked everyone about him

No one knew him at university
He had no friends

as if he doesn't exist

Then I met him by chance

I talked to him
and learned his name

I saw that he had problems
like all of us

The medical examination
of Mister Yehya Saleh El Khayyat

shows that he suffers
from severe mental disorders

And has trouble socializing
since he was born

Thus he was placed...
Listen, I don't get any of this

What I learned here
is that you're a dumb kid

That's normal
Only a sick person can do this

No one is perfect

What treatments did you have
as a child, Yehya?

Electric shocks or pills?

We had an idiot like you in Asyut

His parents chained him
so he would stop scaring other kids

And one day, I unchained him
and made him lead the way

so he would scare the kids

A family of two
Yehya...

and his father, Saleh
How did your father die?

My father is not dead

I know you only saw
your mother in pictures

When you were born

you can't imagine
how happy I was to see you

By the way
you didn't cry like babies do

But I cried instead, Yehya

I cried over you mom
May she rest in peace

when she died on the day
you were born

God!

God gives and God takes

God compensates

But Maryam loves you

She's always with that guy
from university

What guy?

A nice guy

He looks good

He dresses well

- He speaks well
- Talk to her, Yehya!

A long time ago, there were no
cell phones and all that

Do you know what I used to do?

I used to write letters to your mother
and throw them from the balcony

Your grandpa, may he rest in peace
beat me hard back then

So you...
want me to get beaten?

You're being beaten anyway!

Let it be for a good reason!

Listen, why don't you make us
something to drink?

I'll play a song
you'll like very much

Go ahead, Yehya

What are you doing here?

Finish already!

Yehya, I don't want you to talk

I just came to check on you
and make sure you're okay

I want to sell this house

without the shack

He has papers that his car works at
a taxi company like Uber and Kareem

He was in the North coast
at the time of the incident

You could have seen
the wrong car registration number

The kid has a week to be investigated

Maybe he'll speak under pressure

I'll call you then to close the case

- We'll find something on him
- You got the wrong guy

It's not him

- They had the wrong guy
- No

but I got scared

Are you sure this is what happened?

I mean, you weren't hallucinating?

Because you told me
you're father is not dead

Fine

What did you do then?

I tried to commit suicide

That's normal

Because you're not a brave man

I can imagine your father's pain

while fire devours him

and his only son watching him

If I were you...

I would've stayed with my father

I'd have died with him
That's what I would have done

But you're not like him

You're a coward

You're brave, Yehya

God! What is it, kid?

You thought I would just go
and leave you?

You thought that death
would separate us?

I'm sorry

You apologize if you step
on my toe by mistake

What do you want me to do?

Avenge me

Those kids are still out there

If not tomorrow, the day after
they'll kill someone else

and leave his kids orphans

I won't change the world

Who will, then?

I got scared!

I froze and couldn't help you!

I couldn't even let myself burn
in the fire with you

One of us had to burn

so he'd light the way for the other

Yehya, go make us something to drink

so we can sit together

and think about what we'll do

Go!

You drink...

It was a rainy day

A moonless night

"I exist"

"Even if you refuse
to see me in the existence"

"Even if you never hear my voice"

"The day will come
when you'll hear about me"

"I exist"

"I have no limits"

I didn't see the light

before I saw my father burn

"I'm the truth"

"Even if the world lies"

"I'm the fire"

"I'm the fire you can't put out"

"A sure thing"

"If the world refused me
it should change"

"I'm the new beginning"

The fire that consumed his body...

enlightened me

"I exist"

- "I exist"
- Yehya Saleh El Khayyat

"I exist"

"I exist"

"I exist"

Let that be the end of grievances

Welcome back!

- You're a star now
- It's not like I got life in prison!

Chiaa

Tell that girl Samia
to meet me home

I need a back massage
from this two-week-vacation

Nasser

It seems you miss your father

This kid is edgy today

Moussa

Come watch this video

- I filmed it
- What's that?

- That's not a human being, guys!
- I swear it's an alien

What you hear in sci-fi movies...

is getting closer to us

by the deed of a killing robot

It can kill anyone who might harm you

This robot is insane!

This robot and robotics thing

A mythological winged creature

Whoever wants to fight this robot
will have to carry a weapon

Of course you'll say
Amr, you're...

So if it wasn't for the kid passing by
Moussa wouldn't exist

And I wouldn't be sitting
with you now

Destiny brought us together

Come on, Youssef

Lamia, take Youssef
and wait for me outside

Nothing new
The treatment won't work

We'll keep trying until he dies
like his brother?

The only solution is surgery
We've already talked about this

This surgery is done in Germany

- How much does it cost?
- Not less than 200,000 Euros

200,000 Euros

Alright, I have another solution
There's a young doctor...

I don't like experiments

Hello, yes, sir

The ministry of interior affairs?
Okay, okay

Okay, sir, okay

Let's go, Lamia

There's panic and shock
amongst the Egyptians

because of a robot roaming the streets

We'd like an answer...

This is a public opinion case

This happened in broad day light
and was filmed

It would be a disaster
if it happened again

It'll be the case
of Lieutenant Colonel Zakaria

He has all the authority

Dr. Fares Nassar head of the robotics
department in the engineering faculty

Dr. Fares will be with you

so he would explain to us
what exactly we're dealing with

I need to be involved in every move
or investigation involving this robot

Any small detail matters

Sir, you know my father well
and what he taught me

The flame the robot fired
melted steel in a second

We have a crucial weapon
but we don't know its source

We'll have no problem
catching him

- But before the police does
- One last request, sir

When we catch the one who did it
I'd want to be part of interrogations

- But it's not your job, Dr
- You have our permission, Dr

But you'll have to solve it
in 24 hours

I think the fastest way to get there

is to delegate a member
of the research team on the case

We'll be one step ahead

They have warrants and
permissions to ask for, unlike us

You surely know who I am

Just like I know that
you created Moussa

Their bad luck made them
cross your way

Moussa got out of the flames
that burned your dad

And if the fire is still burning
let me know

An old friend...

Mr. Zakaria
the forensic team is here

It's the one we saw in the video

The welding of the door

resulted from extreme heat
coming from the robot

which means the robot is made
of heat resisting metal

more than any other common metals

- One more thing, this doctor...
- Drop it, Hamdi

You do as he says
Orders from Mousaad

I thought I came for vacation!

Turns out I have to capture Spiderman!
Go, Hamdi!

Yehya! Open already!
Man, I would've thought I busted you

- Where's Maryam?
- In her room and she's upset

I know you are mad at me

It wasn't intentional
I had to go

It's okay, father
I was just lonely

Sorry, my love
It's my work, you know it

No, no need to worry

On the contrary I'd like to reassure
people that the Security Forces...

are doing the best they can

and we'll hopefully
find the person...

This case is turning
the world upside down

But I want to know
why is this professor involved?

It's about a robot, Yehya!

It's normal to have
a robotics professor

We know that the victims
were registered criminals

Even so...

We have laws and a justice system

- We're not in a jungle
- Mr. Zakaria, the kid is here

- What's his name?
- Haytham Mohamed Jomaa

- Check him up until I come
- Okay, sir

But to execute it in secret
and without notice

provokes terror and fear...

I got you the sketch book
you drew the twin turbo on

And I found some other drawings
you did

One of them...

is this one

Where is it?

I want to see it

Don't worry

I believe you, Haytham
You can go

- I swear...
- Enough!

- Go because you dad is worried sick
- Okay, sir

- Hamdi?
- Yes!

Put that kid under surveillance
for 24 hours

Phone records, emails
Facebook, even PopG

- I want him completely covered
- Okay, sir

What's that for, Dr?

To help me sleep

The General told me
your son is sick

It's okay
He'll be fine

Come on, stop staring

We need a wider seat

so that Moussa can slide under

My dad's car is too small for him

Yehya, are you doing this
to avenge your father?

To avenge all the world

Does anyone else know?
Maryam?

- No
- But you must tell her

She must know that you're
the knight everyone is looking for

The one that requited
his father's death

You must prove her
that you're a good guy, Yehya

No

You'll need to tell her one day

Can I tell you something?

You'd want me to tell her

Don't give it that look
I live here!

It's been a while since I last been
to my father's mansion

Why do you want to help me
knowing I'm a disaster?

Because I know you're right, Yehya

And I'm with what's right

This world has to end
and be burned down

A flood should destroy it
to be built all over again

The old world has to end

So what shall we do?

I know a guy

He sent me an email
on the dark web

He knows I built Moussa

He said if I'm willing to continue

I'll give you all the names of people
who deserve to disappear

There are dealers of everything

Drugs

and weapons

Even humans

Kids are being kidnapped

and their organs are sold to the rich

Those are way worse
than your father's killers

Yehya

I need the files of the kids
from the old castle

- Get the files
- And their every move since last week

Take my place while you're at it

Mr. Zakaria

A mechatronics engineer tries
to understand how humans think

We have to understand
how Moussa thinks and acts

So we can find out how Moussa's
creator thinks and capture him

This is why I'm here

Yes! What did you say?
When did that happen?

Second incident this month

Moussa is back again
but this time, it wasn't personal

There are 20 hanged criminals

Moussa?
Is he controlled by an outlaw?

Or a vigilante seeking justice
on Earth?

- I want the CCTV footage of this area
- Okay, sir

And every car that passed by
and every detail about the drivers

- All of them?
- Yes, Hamdi

The car that was burned and smashed
I want to know its owner

- Okay, sir
- Wait, Hamdi

The kids over there
Check them one by one

Okay, sir

The robot is controlled remotely

He must have a vehicle customized
to transport him to such a place

How do you make it move?

I control him by spinal reflexes

Like when you squeezed your hand
before screaming

Since I'm your partner now
I want to try it

Do you promise not to kill us?

What do you see?

I see myself

Depending on the car's state
and its length

the robot's height
is between 220 to 240

The robot is controlled remotely

He must have a vehicle customized
to transport him to such a place

You're trying to become
Adam Elsharkawy?

But Adam Elsherkawy
was a thief

What are you?
Are you applying a new law?

A stuttering idiot like you
is going to teach us what to do?

An outlaw like you

will become a role model
for young kids?

You think you can change the world?

Who else will?

- Good evening
- How are you, Yehya?

- What's that?
- As you can see

What went through your mind, Yehya
while doing all this?

What do you expect me to do?

Let them beat me up
at the university?

Or you want me
to be scared again?

And not take vengeance
for my father's death?

That's not a solution, Yehya
You'll die this way!

I have already started
and I can't stop now

Yehya, I have never left you
since I met you

But now I'm leaving you

I'm leaving so you'd come back
to your senses

You don't need Moussa
to be a hero

Get me the towers activities
of this area

Yes sir

Here are the report
of the castle kids

One of them is a suspect in the murder
of Saleh Zaki El Khayyat

That genius doctor behind it...

When we find him, we'll turn him in
to the ministry or the university?

We'll dismantle it
piece by piece

And his creator must be hanged
as a lesson to others

Stop at this car!

- This car is emptied from underneath
- Look up the plate number and owner

Don't be upset, Yehya

I knew this would happen
from the beginning

We have to hide everything now

We don't know what she might do
under shock or fear

Yehya!

Yehya!

Sir, the car owner
is Saleh Zaki El Khayyat

The registration number H-369

Isn't it the same name
in the castle files?

Yes sir
We found nothing

Just some books, that's all

Maryam!

Sir, your people searched my house
and didn't find anything

- I want to know why I'm here
- How many work with you?

- Work with me?
- Stop!

You think I'm a fool?
Where's the robot?

Sir, tell me how can I help
and I'll do it

Come in!

Mr. Ali, the lawyer, member
of the Human Rights Association

I'll be supervising the interrogation
of Yehya Saleh El Khayyat

Human rights, sir?
What for?

It's just a chat before
he leaves with you

Some tea for the gentlemen while
we finish the papers and leave

I'm leaving in two minutes

Go ahead, Dr.
Go ahead

Hamdi!

Goodbye

At your service, Dr.

- This guy will be released?
- Yes, his record is clean

But our team is setting hidden
microphones in his house now

So if there's anything on him
we'll know

Where's the recording room?

Come in
Come in, Dr.

- Do you have kids, Hamdi?
- A boy and two girls

May God bless them

- Is your salary enough?
- It's fine

Why?

My father was an officer

I wanted to become one like him

Ever since I was born
he used to call me Captain Fares

But after he was killed on duty...

I changed my mind

and I studied mechatronics

so I'm not an idiot

And if they know out there
what you're up to, they'll hang you

- What are you talking about?
- Someone is beating us to him

Every time...

giving information

It's either me or you
or Zakaria

It's not me
And Zakaria would kill you if he knew

- Sir, I have information...
- I'll know who it is

who do you report to...

- You're being unfair
- I'll keep it between us

- Sir, you're mixing up...
- I'll tell Zakaria

Mr. Zakaria

Samir El Ashkar

The CEO of Ashkar Association?

Don't worry, no one will know

What happened, Yehya?
Did they...

It was all a misunderstanding
They understand now

- Who?
- Maryam, Yehya

Why? Why would she do that?

No, she must have panicked
Thank God she is far now

Dr. Fares!
Help! Dr. Fares

Youssef! Youssef! Youssef!

His health is deteriorating daily

Please, consider the new surgeon
I mentioned before

I told you, doctor
I don't like to experiment

- Excuse me
- Sure

- Don't worry, you'll be fine
- I'm not afraid

Moussa will save me

Moussa will save you?

Moussa will save you!

Mr. Samir, I'm sorry I came
without an appointment

I want you to trust me

I come to join forces

- What do you need?
- A two-way favor

Help me capture Moussa

- and I'll hand him to you
- Why would you do that?

20 years ago, my father
was stationed in Upper Egypt

He had a mission to exterminate
terrorists there

Some men and a few kids
Little young men

He thought he could talk to them
and change them

distract them from the weapons

But they killed him

It's useless to negotiate
with those people

My father died
because he was an idiot

And my son died
because I'm an idiot

And my second son has the same
disease, but I won't let him die

Money

- And how would you do it?
- Join forces with me first

A group of men will board the train

undercover as travelers

It's better if those men are not yours

They shouldn't know who you are
and have no connections with you

But they should be
heartless strong men

And in mid way
between Fayyoum and Beni Suef

- We'll start
- If anyone tries to make a move

I'll kill you
and I don't want to do that!

Unless you ask for it!

Meanwhile one of our men will film it
and send it to a reporter

So that when it happens
people would know it's Moussa's fault

Therefore Moussa
and his creator will be far

Away from the public's support

We just got news of people
being held hostages

by a group of terrorists
on a train going to Upper Egypt

and passengers are being terrorized

We'll show you an exclusive footage
from inside the train

Yes, Rika!

And while the train is being hijacked

a girl related to the kid
called Yehya will be kidnapped

I have reason to believe
that this girl...

is Yehya's weak point

After that it'll unfold like a Domino

We'll remain away from the target
until we find a way to intervene, sir

The first piece to fall

will push the second
the third and the fourth

and so on
until we reach Moussa

We are still covering
the train hijacking

The minister of interior affairs

stated that they have full control
over the situation

and the special forces
are in place

and the armed terrorists
are being pursued

Do it!

Done!

No one moves!

Stay down!

What is it, Yehya?

Yehya?

What is it, Yehya?

- Move
- Move

Move! Go! Go!

The train driver is down!

- What's your name?
- Maryam

Yehya! We have Maryam

And she is fine...
Till now

You know what we want
and where to find us

Yehya, it's none of your business...

The number you are calling
is not available

You know where
Maryam's house is, right?

Yehya

This is a trap, man!

What trap?

They know where I am
and can come any second

They know it's the only way
to get to Moussa

He said no one would die

I sent men who don't know
anything about me

for him to kidnap my daughter?

I came to find a solution

Fares, the girl you have
is my daughter

You think I didn't know?

Tell that kid he has 24 hours
He knows where to find me

Fine, Fares!

If you start a war
Maryam will be the only victim

I want to know his full name

Fares Abdelazziz

Khalil Nassar

Now all the cards are unfold

I sent his name to your friend
What are you up to?

If I take Moussa

the disruption on the train
might happen again

So you'll meet Fares alone?

Fares is curious to know
the whole story

And when I make sure
that Moussa disappeared

I'll help Maryam out

This man will help me

Can you do it without Moussa?

I am the one who built Moussa

This is the location of Fares' phone

I know you're innocent

But your service is no longer needed

My name is Yehya Saleh El Khayyat

and I decided to tell the whole story

I got in the engineering faculty

Other students used to beat me up
at university

And girls used to defend me
because I couldn't defend myself

My father died

They burned him in cold blood
right before my eyes

I couldn't defend him

I lived alone ever since...

until Moussa came

I made him my friend

I treated him like a brother

I couldn't find flesh and blood
to befriend

So I made friends
with a pile of metal

Moussa didn't do anything wrong

I'm the one to blame

And I'm sorry for what happened

If anyone must be punished

it would be me, not Moussa

Moussa and I
are at 15 Youssef El Saddiq street

I'll miss you, Moussa

And if I caused anyone any harm

He can come and take him

And so that no one gets hurt

the smoke will lead you
to the house

Residents should leave
their homes now

The situation is very dangerous

Be careful, Yehya

I'm Yehya Saleh El Khayyat

The kid is inside
we did what you asked for

No one gets in
Stay outside

Evacuate!

Yes

Are you sure?

OK
Keep me posted

Moussa exploded

But Moussa's blueprint...

is up here

Let Maryam go
and I'll give it to you

Maryam is staying here

And God knows what they'll do to her
until you start drawing

Samir El Ashkar

The man you talked to...
It's his daughter

If anything happens to her

he won't let you go

Let the girl go but follow her

Don't go out the gate
before I say so

Let her talk to me

Yes, Yehya, don't worry

- Maryam is with me
- Don't let her mention anyone

Hello! Yehya...

- We're leaving him?
- If anything happens, we will

I've done my part

Anything else before we start?

Excuse me, Dr.

Crazy people like me...

have rituals while working

Do whatever you want

If you want to change everything
then, do it

- Did you betray him?
- I swear I didn't

I haven't said a word to anyone!
I swear it!

Do your best, Einstein

You know your way is outdated?

I'll explain to you the new way

Tell me what happened

- I'll tell Dr. Fares
- What will you tell Dr. Fares?

There's a car going around?

You're right
Give me a cigarette

Ten seconds

Seven

What...

What's happening outside?

Hey! What's happening outside?

Hey!
What's happening outside?

- Answer! Enough nonsense!
- Answer! Enough nonsense!

Put your shirt down
or I'll shoot you

- Yehya, I'll kill you!
- Yehya, I'll kill you!

One

Yehya, I'll kill you!

Yehya, I'll kill you!
Yehya, I'll kill you!

- Leave the girls there and come
- Okay

Come, the boss needs us

You have to leave now
The place will blow up in 10 minutes

Mr. Fares, we must leave

Mr. Fares?

Mr. Fares?

Go check what's happening outside

- Mr. Fares?
- Keep an eye on the boy

Rika, move

Move right away

You promised me if things go
wrong, you'd run away

You've always kept your promises

- Hello, Yehya
- Maryam

I might not know
how to look you in the eye

But I might not find the time
to tell you this

I...
I love you

Rika, we can't leave

Open the door! Rika!

Rika!

He told me to give you this
if things go wrong

Maryam...

If you're reading this now

it means I'm gone

but you're fine

And that's what matters

You being fine

I'm not worried about you
because Rika is there

Rika is crazy
but she's sweet and brave

I was able to protect you
without Moussa

Like you told me

I don't need Moussa to be a hero

Like my father used to say

If the righteous ones remain silent

the wicked will think they're right

Maryam, take good care of yourself

Don't worry about me

I'm in a better place

with my parents

Yes, Safwat, do you have the money
and the tickets?

Okay, great

Yes, Iman

Let the new doctor do the surgery

Yes

Do you want to listen to music?

Yes, music

People like us don't die
