Dollar (2019–…): Season 1, Episode 5 - Episode #1.5 - full transcript

A NETFLIX ORIGINAL SERIES

[theme music playing]

[Wajih] The opening of the bank
is in two weeks,

and our name has to be
number one in the market.

[alarm ringing]

[faucet running]

I want to establish
a friendly relationship with the client.

I want an advertising idea that can
be summed up in two words, that's all.

Mr. Wajih?

I have an idea that might save you
another meeting with us.

What's this?



This is a one-dollar bill,

so it could be in the hands
of any person in the country.

We'll release it,
and it will pass from one hand to another

and go from one pocket to the next.

And the owner of the bill
with the right number

will win a valuable prize from the bank.

[Wajih] One million dollars.

[inaudible]

CURRENCY EXCHANGE

[coins clatter]

I want to let you know
my whole life has been jinxed recently.

Oh.

I want to let you know
that the same has happened to me.

My life was jinxed around the same time.



Are you trying to be funny?

I mean, are you serious?
We've been doing everything together.

Was there anything
I should have done that I didn't?

Honestly, I was exhausted trying to get
the beggar to tell me what he did with it.

And I went through hell getting the baker
to tell me who he gave it to.

Then I got sore feet
running after kids who clean cars.

And now we've followed their boss,
and look where we've ended up.

That's not enough.

"Not enough"?
What else do you want me to do?

Besides, why are you blaming me
as if it was all my fault?

You don't intend to give me
the whole million, do you?

What? In your dreams!

Then I don't want to hear another word.

I don't have to be responsible
for everything.

Why is that? Aren't you the man here?

What? What does that
have to do with anything?

What do you mean?
It has everything to do with it!

I'm a girl, and I can't take such risks
on my own. That's just a reminder.

You can't?

Just two days ago, you wanted to join
that crazy women's club for the dollar.

Women! See? A women's club.

So my job is to handle the women,

and yours is to handle the problems
and rough situations. Man!

So that's my job? Why can't you get it?

This is a currency exchange store
for God's sake!

So it would take me more than two days
to search the safe and drawers,

between the yen and the dollars
and the riyals and the euros...

- It's a currency exchange store!
- So?

So what? I told you,
it's a currency exchange store!

[Zeina in French] Good morning.

[in Arabic] A beautiful morning
for a beautiful lady.

I need to exchange $100, please.

Euros or Lebanese pounds?

No, no, no.
I want it all in one-dollar bills.

You can get that kind of change
from the next store to the right,

the one that sells perfumes.

You know what?

I'll exchange it
for that pretty face of yours

and those pretty eyes.

What do you need? Two fifties?
A fifty, a ten and two twenties,

or $100?

Well, I need $100.

What's this, then?

I mean, I need 100 bills
of one dollar each.

Ah. Now I get it.

[sniffs and sighs]

It smells good.

[bills ruffling]

You're welcome.

Can I exchange this 100 as well, please?

Forgive me, but all I have
is less than $100.

But if you like,
I'll exchange it for something else.

I don't mind.
Give me all the dollar bills you've got,

then give me the difference
in Lebanese pounds.

Sure.

You know something?
I've worked in this business for 35 years,

and this is the first time
I've ever met a customer like you.

I want this dollar, please!

This one?

Yes.

Would I be right in guessing
that you are into collecting currency?

[chuckles] Please, I want it.

- [Omran] This one?
- [in French] Yes.

[in Arabic] Well, be my guest.

[Tarek] Sweetheart, what's going on?

I'm double-parked.

"Sweetheart"?

This is it, miss. It's all I have.

And this one!

This one is not exchangeable.

Even if it's torn, it's okay,
we'll take it.

I'm not going to remove all this stuff
and lift up the glass top and make a mess!

As I said,
this dollar is not exchangeable.

Give it to me,
and I'll give you $50 for it.

Listen, son, stop fooling around with me.

I'm old enough to be your father,
understand?

Also, get out, both of you.
Otherwise, this won't end well.

Look, there's a motorcycle cop
at the corner.

He can be here in one second.

Also, that's it. I'm not exchanging
money anymore. Goodbye!

This here is my money...
And there you go, sister.

This is your $200. Now leave!

Goodbye! This dollar is not for sale,
and I'm not exchanging money anymore!

Get out!

Go! Leave!

I said there's a motorcycle cop.
What are you waiting for?

Okay! Got it!

What do you think?
He's an old man. We can take him, right?

Old man or not, I don't care about him.

What I care about is what he has.

So what are you waiting for?
There's no time.

Are you an idiot?

The street is busy. Let's wait until dark.
Tonight, we'll hit him.

The early bird catches the worm.
Why wait until nighttime?

"Catches the worm"?
Do you know who's going to get caught?

I do! And it's all your fault, dude!
Let's go, man!

Are we going to keep going
around in circles?

Not a word, Tarek! Don't say anything!

I don't want to hear your voice!

You didn't even thank me
for coming to help you.

Thank you?
That dollar was almost in my hands!

But you had to come in
and ruin everything for me, as usual!

It's not my fault
that he's into younger women

and got all upset when he realized
you were my wife!

I'm sorry, when he thought
you were my wife.

Not my fault either! It's not my fault
that he's into younger women,

or whatever else it is
that's fucking up my life right now!

I'll go snatch it away from him.

Come here! Where are you going?

You realize as soon as you go in there,

he'll suspect you before you even say hi?

Look, Tarek,
you either come up with an idea

or you let me handle it!

Zeina, you need to calm down.

First of all, we need to stay right here,

and we can't let him out of our sight.

What's the use? See how many people
are going in and out of the store?

We might lose the dollar any second!

Do you think it's the only dollar he has?

Besides, didn't you see
how he put it under the glass

as if it was some ancient antique?

Okay, I get your first point.
What's your second point?

Second, we need to think
about when and how

we are going to take the dollar from him.

What's this? What if you kill him?

I'm not going to kill him.

I'll just scare him with it
and take the dollar.

The most important thing now is
that you go in quickly and get the dollar.

And once you're out of there,
flash the light.

I'll start the car quickly,
I'll pick you up,

then we'll go to my place.

Your place? Why your place?

My place, your place, it doesn't matter!
Just do it!

Hey, it looks like he's closing.

[Tarek] Just wait.
Let's see where he's headed.

[Zeina] Obviously he's headed to his car.
He's going home.

[Tarek] Maybe his car is here
in this parking lot.

[horn blaring]

[tires screeching]

[car alarm blaring]

He's still alive.

What are you doing?

He needs a hospital.
Otherwise, he's going to die!

What do we care?

Are you kidding?

Go check on the other guy. Hurry!

He ran away, the son of a bitch.

- Sit next to him. I'll drive.
- Where to?

What do you mean, "Where to?"
I'm taking him to hospital.

- Are you out of your mind, Zeina?
- Are you serious, Tarek?

Do you seriously want me
to let him die here?

We can't get involved with him.

Do you realize what could happen to us?

[Zeina] Then...

you stay here.
I'm not going to let him die.

You have no conscience!

EMERGENCY

[horn honking]

AUTHORIZED PERSONNEL ONLY

Excuse me. Can you tell me anything?

[Tarek] How is it going?

You're here. What brought you?

I'm here to check on the guy.

Am I supposed to believe you?

I don't know.
But I felt it would be really indecent

if I opened the store
while the guy was about to die.

[sighs]

How are you going to open the store?
Do you even have the key?

See what a liar you are?

Are you with the patient?

[Zeina] How is he, doctor?

Are you his daughter?

What is it, doctor?

I need to talk to someone related to him.

Actually, we don't know him.

We were there when the accident happened,
and we decided to take him to hospital.

Mmm.

To tell you the truth,
the patient has lost a lot of blood.

[Tarek] And?

And he needs a blood transfusion.

How much time do we have?

I don't know. It's a matter of luck.

You know that his age is a risk factor.

- I'll go.
- [Tarek] Wait!

What's his blood type?

O positive. The generous type.

Okay, can I go see what I can do?

Wait!

It's okay. I'll give him blood.

[doctor] Okay.

LABORATORIES

- [Zeina] Excuse me?
- [nurse] Yes?

What's the meaning of "generous type"?

It can donate to all other types
but only receive from the same type.

How is it going?

I feel a bit dizzy.

This is normal.

Once you ingest some liquids
and nutrients, you'll be okay.

I'll go down to the cafeteria
to get you something to eat.

Fortunately, we found a cell phone
in the patient's pocket,

and it contains
his family contact numbers.

Administration contacted them,
and they're on their way.

So we can leave?

No, stay a little longer
to more fully recuperate.

Feel better soon.

Thank you.

[Tarek] I said this isn't the time
to talk. I have a lot on my mind.

You always do. You'll never change.

Don't waste your breath, then. Go away.

[Gihan] Tarek, are you happy like that?

Very!

Tarek!

Go away!

Go away!

- Who was that?
- What?

Sorry. I got you a snack.

We need to get the hell out of here.

- We still have time.
- Time for what?

Time for what?
We brought the guy over here,

we got him what he needed,
and he's okay now.

Don't you want us to make sure
you're okay as well?

What are you afraid of?
Did something happen while I was gone?

Why don't you get it?
Unless we get out of here right now,

we're going to be interrogated.

Anyway, don't worry.
I talked to the doctor.

He called the family,
and they're on their way.

Okay, then let's get the hell out of here.

Wait! The store keys.

[gasps]

Oh, my God. I forgot about the keys.

Good thing you're here to remind me.

This means we can't waste time.

You need to go through his things
and find the keys.

I have the keys, smart ass!

How come?

Are you underestimating me?

I took them out of his pocket
before we got to the hospital.

You...

[doctor] That's her.

Come with us, please.

You'll need to give us a minute.

Where to?

Sir, may I have a word with her, please?

About what?

About the lawyer. She needs
to give me his contact information.

It's her right.

Just make it quick.

Give me the keys.

Tarek, are you going to leave me?

I'm not going to leave you.
Give me the keys.

Once I get the dollar, I'll come up
with a hundred ways to get you out.

- Tarek!
- It's okay, trust me.

[officer] Come on. What's the hold up?

Fucking bitch.

You tricked me again.

[officer] Calm down
and help us to understand!

Honestly, I'm the one
who doesn't understand.

Are you accusing me,
after everything I did?

We're just having a little chat
to prove the opposite.

It's my fault. Yes, it's my fault!

I should've left him lying on the floor
until he bled to death!

Wafaa, come on.
You need to hold yourself together.

Father can't take this.

I wish it was me instead of him.

What are you talking about?
Don't say that, sis.

What did the doctor say?

He had a surgery.
They implanted a metal rod in his leg.

And it seems that he has
a small crack in his skull.

What are you doing here?

Leila?

So, she was your fiancée.

When did you break up?

Two and a half years ago, sir.

How many kids are there in your family?

Just me and my sister, Wafaa.

So your dad is married to your fiancée...

I mean your ex-fiancée,

and you're trying to tell me
that you didn't know about it?

It's a strange story, right?

The lady is here, sir.
Go ahead and ask her.

What do you say, Mrs. Leila?

I have nothing to say.
You're holding the marriage certificate.

I'm their father's lawfully wedded wife.

I've never seen such nerve!

Hey, no one asked you to speak.

She left my brother and made him suffer,

and in the end,
it turned out she was after my father.

I don't get it!
He's old enough to be your father!

What do you want with him?

[chuckles]

Sis, it's not him she's interested in.

It's what he has.

What do you mean?

Officer?

I think I can leave now.

No, stay here.

What do you want with me?
His whole family is here now.

His family is here indeed,

but we still don't know
that it really wasn't you who did it.

Me?

Sir, there's someone asking to see you.

Who?

He says he's the victim's son.

Are you all trying to tell me

that your father has four wives
and no one knew about it?

He told me that he had remarried, sir,

but he never told me how many women
or who they were.

And you didn't ask him?
You have three kids with him,

and you don't know who he's married to
or how many other kids he has?

I just want peace, sir.

She's a liar. Don't believe her!

They all married my father for his money.

All but my poor mother.
May she rest in peace.

Excuse me, but my mother
has nothing to do with these two.

Oh, yeah? What makes her different
from the other women

who agreed to marry him in secret?

Who said it was a secret marriage?

My mother doesn't even know
my father has other wives.

Stop it right now!
Do you think we're idiots?

What have you got, man?

We pulled out a statement
showing all his properties.

He owns a house in Badaro,

a house in Tayyouneh,

a house in Ain el Remmaneh
and a house in Karakas.

He owns three parking lots and a currency
exchange store on Corniche el Mazraa

and a fish restaurant in Maameltein.

Damn! All that? Now I see
why you're all fighting over him.

Sir, these properties
belong to me and my sister.

Enough, Yasser. We're not splitting up
Dad's estate while he's still alive.

Cut it out!
You and your brothers and sister!

Stop talking to me about my brothers
and my sisters! I don't know any of them!

I mean, where did you all come from?

I don't know any of them!

Calm down, everyone. Let me continue.

I don't think
there's a need for all of this.

What do you mean?

All of Mr. Omran's properties
are mortgaged.

It says here that he was a gambler,
but he had bad luck.

He mortgaged all of his properties.

[officer] What's this?

It's evidence that Zeina is innocent.

This is the bumper of the car
that ran over the man inside,

and here's the registration plate.

I really can't believe it.
The man has a bloody harem.

I really feel sorry for his kids, though.

Try to feel less sorry.

Everything we went through tonight
was because you felt sorry for him.

Stop it, Tarek! Stop being a jerk!

[clicks tongue]

- [sighs]
- Are you okay?

Thank you for coming back.

I can't believe you were able
to get me out of the mess I got into.

Really, thank you, Tarek.

Were you really worried about me?

You want the truth? I was worried
they'd take you to the police station

and you'd get stuck in there
with the keys.

By the way, the only thing
good about you is your blood type.

Let's be serious now.

We need to figure out
how to wrap it up before daylight.

Then, like we said before...

you'll go in, get the dollar and get out.

You'll flash the light,
I'll start the car, pick you up quickly,

then we'll go to...

to my place, to your place,
or wherever you want to go.

Just get it over with.

[car door opens]

[car door closes]

[sighs]

[mutters]

[grunting softly]

I'm glad you came to help. Come here.

I need to lift up the glass top.

[man 1]...23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30,

31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40,

41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 46, 47, 48, 49, 50,

51, 52...

- 52... 52 divided by 500...
- [typing on calculator]

25 divided by 500... 25...

25 divided by 500...

[currency notes ruffling]

...6, 7, 8, 9, 10,

11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20,

21, 22, 23...

[continues counting]

- Thank God! I almost got caught!
- What is it?

What happened? Didn't the keys work?

They did, and everything was perfect.

But the damn owner of the shop next door
was in there and opened the door,

and I was stuck inside.

The problem is that the money I stole
is less than $2,500.

- [man 1] Great!
- [man 2] Yeah.

Now tell me, how did it go with you guys?

[man 1] As you see.

[man 2] What's this? Sterling pounds?

What do I need sterling pounds for?

Who's this?

- Who's this?
- Badr brought him.

He didn't want us to get rid of him,
so he brought him here.

[man 2] Badr!

Why did you bring him here?
Don't we have enough shit?

Go ahead! Blame me for everything
this time, too!

Because I'm the idiot
who always ruins your plans!

And you, what's your problem, shithead?
We just got here!

"Badr brought him!"

We brought him together, remember?

Do you think I enjoy breaking locks
and robbing stores?

Why are you looking at me like that, huh?

We're doing all this for you,
so for God's sake,

stop giving me that look.

For me? Why are you talking to me
as if I was your girlfriend?

Are you getting your cut? Yes or no?

[man 1] Calm down, guys!

[Badr] No, I want him to know!

Yes, it's for you!

So that Hindi's thugs won't cut off
another one of your fingers!

Bro, I deal in drugs,
coke, marijuana, Captagon...

I buy and sell stuff.
But breaking locks and robbing stores,

that's so we can get you ten grand
every Thursday.

This was never our thing to begin with!

[man 2] You moron! The drugs
that we're still paying Hindi for,

we all had them! All three of us!

And we all got caught with it!
So cut it out, Badr, for God's sake!

Stop whining and crying as if you're
the victim here! We've had enough!

Calm down, you guys!
Have you forgotten what day it is?

It's Thursday,
and they'll be here any minute now.

Yes, it's Thursday! It's Thursday!

Besides, Badr brought this guy over here
because he saw our faces.

It's not just that.

I thought we could use him
to sell a kidney, a heart, an eye maybe...

The money we stole from
the currency exchange store is not enough.

"Not enough"?
What do you mean "not enough"?

The payment is due today.
What do you mean it's not enough?

They're going to cut off my finger!

Come on, count with me... Come on.

What's this? Okay, these are Saudi riyals.

Good. Euros...

Japanese yen? How am I supposed
to calculate the value of Japanese yen?

My head is going to explode!

[man 1] Calm down
I'll do the calculations. Calm down.

Write down the numbers
and do the calculations.

- [man 2] Come on, count!
- [man 1] Fifty-four...

[man 2] Count the money you have.

[line ringing]

[automated voice] The number you have
dialed is currently not available.

Please try again later.

[cell phone chimes]

VOICE MESSAGE FROM NIZAR

[Nizar] Honey, I have news
worth one million dollars.

My father gave me permission
to start my own business,

and we can pick any date you like
for our wedding.

[man 2] Okay, this is almost 200... Right.

And we have about 350 in Japanese yen.

- How much do you have?
- $3,500.

And the Lebanese pounds are about...

[sighs]

So if we add what we have here
to the money I brought in,

we'll still need $2,000 to $2,500.

[slaps table]

I can't believe our luck!
We broke into three stores!

And we couldn't come up with ten grand?

Fuck this luck!

And what's even worse
is that shit you dragged in here!

[Badr] What shit are you talking about?
Here, I'll take care of it.

I'll slit his throat right now for you!

Hey! Easy! Easy! Easy!

You've been blaming me
for this shit long enough!

Fine! I brought him here,
and I'll take care of him!

Easy! You said we'll harvest
his organs or whatever.

We might be able to come up
with the required amount.

Well, yes, he can get us some money,

but that's not our thing!

Besides, we need connections
and a whole lot of other things.

It's not that simple.

I heard that they keep them alive
for several days,

and every day, they take away something.

That way, his organs will stay fresh
and we can make even more money.

That's good, but we haven't got time.

Also, Badr, listen to me. I'm not arguing
with you or busting your balls.

But Hindi's thugs are mean!
My finger is on the line, Badr!

[Badr] Okay.
