0:01:16 > 0:01:18- I'm Barbara Watson.- Yes. Come in.

0:01:18 > 0:01:20Thank you.

0:01:24 > 0:01:26Uh, may I take your coat?

0:01:26 > 0:01:28- No, thank you.- Well...

0:01:28 > 0:01:29Would you like something to drink?

0:01:29 > 0:01:32No.

0:01:32 > 0:01:34Shall we get started?

0:01:34 > 0:01:35OK.

0:01:46 > 0:01:48Let's try it again.

0:01:48 > 0:01:50The same thing?

0:01:50 > 0:01:52Yes.

0:01:52 > 0:01:55And remember, fingers curved, like a tunnel.

0:01:55 > 0:01:56OK.

0:01:58 > 0:02:01PLAYS SLOWLY

0:02:04 > 0:02:07Don't flatten.

0:02:07 > 0:02:09Make room for the train.

0:02:09 > 0:02:11STOPS PLAYING What?

0:02:11 > 0:02:14It's something I tell my kids.

0:02:14 > 0:02:17If the fingers are curved like this,

0:02:17 > 0:02:22then there's room for the train to pass through the tunnel.

0:02:25 > 0:02:27Thank you.

0:02:27 > 0:02:29Next Tuesday then, same time?

0:02:29 > 0:02:31No.

0:02:31 > 0:02:33I don't think I'm going to continue with our lessons.

0:02:33 > 0:02:35Oh, no.

0:02:35 > 0:02:36You're giving up?

0:02:36 > 0:02:38No.

0:02:38 > 0:02:40Oh.

0:02:40 > 0:02:42OK.

0:02:42 > 0:02:45Well, goodbye.

0:02:45 > 0:02:47Goodbye.

0:02:48 > 0:02:49Uh, Mr Vale?

0:02:49 > 0:02:53May I ask, how many teachers have you had before me?

0:02:54 > 0:02:56Four.

0:02:56 > 0:02:57Well, for what it's worth,

0:02:57 > 0:03:00learning an instrument at your age is difficult,

0:03:00 > 0:03:05especially if you don't possess a natural gift for it.

0:03:05 > 0:03:07I'm not saying this to be mean.

0:03:07 > 0:03:10But if you do decide to give up...

0:03:11 > 0:03:13..I'd really like to buy your piano.

0:03:16 > 0:03:17OK.

0:03:28 > 0:03:31East Asia's experience is really the exception to the rule,

0:03:31 > 0:03:33because the conditions there

0:03:33 > 0:03:37that made trade liberalisation for the Middle East successful

0:03:37 > 0:03:39weren't present in the developing countries...

0:03:44 > 0:03:46KNOCK AT DOOR Yes?

0:03:48 > 0:03:51- Hi.- Come in.

0:04:01 > 0:04:03My paper. Sorry it's late.

0:04:03 > 0:04:06Why is it late?

0:04:06 > 0:04:09I had some personal issues to deal with.

0:04:12 > 0:04:14I'm sorry but I can't accept it now.

0:04:16 > 0:04:18I mean, I really had a...

0:04:18 > 0:04:20I'm sorry.

0:04:32 > 0:04:36Hey, you know, you still haven't given us the syllabus yet?

0:04:36 > 0:04:37I know.

0:05:08 > 0:05:10KNOCK AT DOOR

0:05:11 > 0:05:13KNOCK AT DOOR Yeah.

0:05:13 > 0:05:15Hello, Walter.

0:05:15 > 0:05:17- Hi, Charles. - You got a sec?

0:05:17 > 0:05:18Sure.

0:05:18 > 0:05:19Walter, Shelley can't make it

0:05:19 > 0:05:22down to the NYU conference to present your paper.

0:05:22 > 0:05:25- I'm going to need you to cover for her.- Why can't she go?

0:05:25 > 0:05:28She's been put on bed rest till she has the baby.

0:05:28 > 0:05:31I wish I could but now's not a good time, Charles.

0:05:31 > 0:05:33Well, I understand but you co-authored the paper

0:05:33 > 0:05:35and the Dean wants it presented.

0:05:35 > 0:05:37He wants to keep Shelley on track for tenure.

0:05:37 > 0:05:40I just don't think I can, with the start of classes and my book.

0:05:40 > 0:05:43You're only teaching one class, Walter.

0:05:43 > 0:05:45So I can stay focused on my book.

0:05:47 > 0:05:49Charles, I would really rather not go.

0:05:49 > 0:05:53Well, I'm sorry but there really isn't another option at this point.

0:05:57 > 0:06:01Charles, the truth is this is really Shelley's paper.

0:06:01 > 0:06:05I just agreed to co-author it because she asked me to.

0:06:05 > 0:06:09I'm not really prepared to present it.

0:06:09 > 0:06:11Look, Walter, you can take it up with the Dean if you want

0:06:11 > 0:06:14but, as your friend, I wouldn't advise it.

0:06:14 > 0:06:16Not with that argument.

0:17:09 > 0:17:12We find that, under these circumstances,

0:17:12 > 0:17:14financial globalisation can be beneficial.

0:17:14 > 0:17:17Empirically, it's good institutions and quality of government

0:17:19 > 0:17:21to benefit and harvest the fruits of globalisation.

0:24:19 > 0:24:22but with the drum you have to remember not to think.

0:46:01 > 0:46:03I don't even understand it.

0:46:03 > 0:46:06Walter, there are guys who have been in here for years!

0:46:06 > 0:46:09I can't do that, Walter. I'll go crazy.

0:46:09 > 0:46:12He's trying to deal with the case as quickly as possible.

0:46:12 > 0:46:14I know. I know. It's...

0:46:14 > 0:46:15It's just...

0:46:15 > 0:46:17HE SIGHS

0:46:17 > 0:46:19Look, maybe we should call your mother.

0:46:19 > 0:46:22No. No. I don't want her to worry.

0:46:23 > 0:46:25Yeah.

0:46:29 > 0:46:33Tarek, um...I have to go back to Connecticut.

0:46:33 > 0:46:36- When? - Tomorrow.

0:46:36 > 0:46:38But I'll be reachable by phone if you need anything.

0:46:38 > 0:46:41And I'll be back to visit. It's not far.

0:46:41 > 0:46:42OK.

0:46:42 > 0:46:46Just, please, don't forget about me in here.

0:46:46 > 0:46:47I won't.

0:46:51 > 0:46:52So, have you been practising?

0:46:52 > 0:46:54Yes.

0:46:54 > 0:46:56You should go back to the drum circle.

0:46:56 > 0:46:57No.

0:46:57 > 0:46:59- HE LAUGHS - OK.

0:46:59 > 0:47:03But listen to that Fela CD. That will help you, I promise.

0:47:03 > 0:47:05I will. I will.

0:47:06 > 0:47:08So, show me what you've been working on.

0:47:08 > 0:47:10What?

0:47:10 > 0:47:12Show me. On that.

0:47:12 > 0:47:13Here?

0:47:13 > 0:47:18Come on. I need some music, man. Don't worry. They can't arrest you.

0:47:18 > 0:47:20At least not yet.

0:47:22 > 0:47:25Come on.

0:47:44 > 0:47:45Good.

0:47:50 > 0:47:52Oh, no, an elbow.

0:47:57 > 0:47:59KNOCK AT DOOR

0:48:03 > 0:48:04KNOCK AT DOOR

0:48:13 > 0:48:15Hello.

0:48:15 > 0:48:17I'm sorry. I must have got the wrong apartment.

0:48:17 > 0:48:21- Can I help you? - I'm looking for my son. Excuse me.

0:48:21 > 0:48:24Are you...are you Tarek's mother?

0:48:25 > 0:48:26Yes.

0:48:26 > 0:48:29Well, this is Tarek's apartment.

0:48:29 > 0:48:32I...share the apartment with him.

0:48:34 > 0:48:36He didn't mention that he lived with someone.

0:48:37 > 0:48:40Well, I'm not here very often. I live in Connecticut.

0:48:40 > 0:48:42Is Tarek here?

0:48:42 > 0:48:45No. He's not here now.

0:48:45 > 0:48:48But come in. Please.

0:48:50 > 0:48:52Please.

0:48:54 > 0:48:56Thank you.

0:49:02 > 0:49:04Oh, my name is Walter. Walter Vale.

0:49:04 > 0:49:06I'm Mouna Khalil.

0:49:06 > 0:49:08I'm sorry to show up unannounced.

0:49:08 > 0:49:11My son hasn't called me for five days.

0:49:11 > 0:49:13I keep trying his cell phone but he doesn't answer.

0:49:15 > 0:49:18- Would you like to sit down? - Thank you.

0:49:35 > 0:49:38Mr Vale, is my son all right?

0:49:38 > 0:49:40Yes.

0:49:40 > 0:49:42He's been arrested.

0:49:43 > 0:49:46He's being held in a detention centre.

0:49:46 > 0:49:50- Where? - In Queens.

0:49:50 > 0:49:52They're trying to deport him.

0:49:55 > 0:49:57How did this happen?

0:49:57 > 0:49:59He was stopped in a subway station.

0:49:59 > 0:50:02He didn't do anything wrong.

0:50:05 > 0:50:07I'd like to go there. To Queens.

0:50:07 > 0:50:09OK.

0:50:11 > 0:50:13But, Mrs Khalil, the lawyer met...

0:50:15 > 0:50:17I just don't think it's possible for you...

0:50:17 > 0:50:20Mr Vale, I know I cannot visit Tarek.

0:50:20 > 0:50:23I just want to see the place where they're holding him.

0:50:25 > 0:50:28OK. I can take you there.

0:50:28 > 0:50:31- Thank you. - WALTER SIGHS

0:50:31 > 0:50:33Could we go now?

0:50:51 > 0:50:54So, have you been to New York before, Mrs Khalil?

0:50:54 > 0:50:56No.

0:50:56 > 0:50:58Tarek wanted to come to New York to play music.

0:50:58 > 0:51:01I did not want him to go.

0:51:01 > 0:51:03Do you have any children, Mr Vale?

0:51:03 > 0:51:05A son. He lives in London.

0:51:05 > 0:51:08- And your wife? - My wife passed away.

0:51:08 > 0:51:11I'm sorry.

0:51:16 > 0:51:18That's it.

0:51:20 > 0:51:22- This is where the prison is? - Mm-hm.

0:51:22 > 0:51:24It doesn't look like a prison.

0:51:24 > 0:51:25I think that's the point.

0:51:27 > 0:51:29How many people are in there?

0:51:29 > 0:51:31Tarek said about 300.

0:51:33 > 0:51:36There's a coffee shop on that corner.

0:51:36 > 0:51:38- It's not very nice... - I'll wait there.

0:52:13 > 0:52:15Walter, I thought you were leaving.

0:52:15 > 0:52:17I was.

0:52:17 > 0:52:19Tarek, your mother is here.

0:52:19 > 0:52:21What? My mother?!

0:52:21 > 0:52:23- Where? - She's waiting outside.

0:52:25 > 0:52:27- When did she arrive? - Today.

0:52:27 > 0:52:30Oh, man. Why did she come? She can do nothing for me.

0:52:30 > 0:52:33She said she hadn't heard from you.

0:52:35 > 0:52:38Walter, listen to me. She can't stay here.

0:52:38 > 0:52:40She doesn't know anyone in New York.

0:52:40 > 0:52:43I'm sorry but you must get her to go back to Michigan.

0:52:45 > 0:52:46OK.

0:52:46 > 0:52:47OK, I'll try.

0:52:47 > 0:52:49Thank you, Walter.

0:52:49 > 0:52:51I have a note from her.

0:53:08 > 0:53:09Need anything else?

0:53:09 > 0:53:12No, thank you.

0:53:54 > 0:53:56Hello, sir.

0:53:56 > 0:53:57Hi.

0:53:59 > 0:54:01- How is he? - He's good.

0:54:01 > 0:54:06He's good, but he's very concerned about you being here.

0:54:08 > 0:54:10I will not leave.

0:54:11 > 0:54:15Mrs Khalil, I don't think your being in New York will do any good.

0:54:15 > 0:54:18We have a very good lawyer working on Tarek's case...

0:54:18 > 0:54:21Mr Vale, I will not go back to Michigan

0:54:21 > 0:54:24knowing that my son is in that building.

0:54:25 > 0:54:30Even if I can't see him, I will stay.

0:54:35 > 0:54:37Shall we go?

0:54:41 > 0:54:42Madam.

0:54:47 > 0:54:49Bye.

0:54:57 > 0:54:58Mr Vale?

0:55:00 > 0:55:02I'm leaving now. Thank you for your help.

0:55:02 > 0:55:04Where are you going?

0:55:04 > 0:55:06I'll find a hotel.

0:55:06 > 0:55:09You can stay here. You can use Tarek's room.

0:55:10 > 0:55:13Thank you for your offer, but I cannot accept it.

0:55:13 > 0:55:15I don't want to impose on you.

0:55:15 > 0:55:19You're not imposing. Please. I would like you to stay.

0:55:19 > 0:55:23Thank you. But I will manage.

0:55:27 > 0:55:30- Goodbye. - Goodbye.

0:55:46 > 0:55:48Uh, Mrs Khalil?

0:55:50 > 0:55:51Please.

0:55:51 > 0:55:54I was with Tarek when he was arrested.

0:55:54 > 0:55:57He was in the subway in the first place because of me.

0:55:57 > 0:55:59So...

0:55:59 > 0:56:00Please.

0:56:00 > 0:56:02Even if it's just for one night.

0:56:15 > 0:56:18Um, the bathroom is across the hall.

0:56:18 > 0:56:20Thank you, Mr Vale.

0:56:20 > 0:56:22Call me Walter.

0:56:22 > 0:56:24And I'm Mouna.

0:56:25 > 0:56:26So, do you need anything else?

0:56:26 > 0:56:30- No, thank you. - Well, good night.

0:56:30 > 0:56:32Good night.

0:56:59 > 0:57:02MOUNA SPEAKS ARABIC

0:57:28 > 0:57:30Oh, good morning.

0:57:30 > 0:57:32Good morning.

0:57:36 > 0:57:38Tarek says hello.

0:57:38 > 0:57:40How is he?

0:57:40 > 0:57:42I can't really tell.

0:57:45 > 0:57:49He wants me to leave. But I am not leaving.

0:57:49 > 0:57:53Well, you're welcome to stay here as long as you need to.

0:57:53 > 0:57:56Thank you. That's very generous of you.

0:57:56 > 0:57:58Thank you for the paper.

0:57:58 > 0:58:00You're welcome.

0:58:18 > 0:58:20Do you spend a lot of time in the city?

0:58:20 > 0:58:22No. No. Not really.

0:58:22 > 0:58:26I'm just here, presenting a paper at a conference.

0:58:27 > 0:58:29You wrote it?

0:58:29 > 0:58:32- Mm-hm. - Congratulations.

0:58:37 > 0:58:39I co-authored it, really.

0:58:45 > 0:58:47And what happened after the hearing?

0:58:47 > 0:58:50We appealed. It took two years.

0:58:50 > 0:58:51And your appeal was denied?

0:58:51 > 0:58:53Yes.

0:58:53 > 0:58:55And did they send you your bag-and-baggage letter?

0:58:55 > 0:58:57- No. - What's that?

0:58:57 > 0:58:59It basically tells you where to show up and be deported.

0:58:59 > 0:59:00But you didn't receive it?

0:59:00 > 0:59:03No. I would remember this.

0:59:03 > 0:59:07- Did you move? - Eventually we had to.

0:59:07 > 0:59:09But we had our mail advanced.

0:59:09 > 0:59:12Is it possible that it just never got there?

0:59:12 > 0:59:13Yeah, it's happened before.

0:59:13 > 0:59:16And pre-9/11 it wasn't much of a priority, tracking people down.

0:59:16 > 0:59:19But if you got it and just ignored it, there's nothing I can do.

0:59:21 > 0:59:24So, you can help him?

0:59:24 > 0:59:25I'm going to try.

0:59:25 > 0:59:27But you should know, it's still a long shot.

0:59:27 > 0:59:29The Government's approach has changed radically.

0:59:29 > 0:59:31It's very black-and-white now. Either you belong or you don't.

0:59:31 > 0:59:34Tarek's lucky. Most of them don't even have lawyers.

0:59:34 > 0:59:35Lucky?

0:59:35 > 0:59:37- Relatively speaking. - PHONE RINGS

0:59:37 > 0:59:39We just have to move quickly to get an emergency stay

0:59:39 > 0:59:41and we'll stick with a motion to reopen

0:59:41 > 0:59:42pending his green card application.

0:59:42 > 0:59:45- PHONE RINGS - Yeah?

0:59:45 > 0:59:46OK.

0:59:46 > 0:59:48Can you explain what that means, please?

0:59:48 > 0:59:51Actually, I don't have the time right now. I'm sorry.

0:59:51 > 0:59:54- I have to be in court very shortly. - How long will he be in detention?

0:59:54 > 0:59:57I can't predict that. I am sorry but I am going to have to wrap this up.

0:59:57 > 1:00:00Do you have any children, Mr Shah?

1:00:02 > 1:00:04Yeah. Two kids.

1:00:04 > 1:00:06And for what it's worth, my uncle was deported

1:00:06 > 1:00:09after raising a family here for 23 years.

1:00:09 > 1:00:12If I can get your son out, I will.

1:00:12 > 1:00:14Thank you.

1:00:18 > 1:00:20Where are you from?

1:00:20 > 1:00:22Queens.

1:00:24 > 1:00:27- MOUNA: Which one is she? - WALTER: The one closest to us.

1:00:27 > 1:00:29- The black woman? - Mm-hm.

1:00:29 > 1:00:31- That is Zainab? - Mm-hm.

1:00:33 > 1:00:35She's very black.

1:00:44 > 1:00:47Zainab?

1:00:47 > 1:00:48Oh! Hi, Walter.

1:00:48 > 1:00:52Uh, Zainab, this is Mouna Khalil. Tarek's mother.

1:00:52 > 1:00:53- Oh! - Hello, Zainab.

1:00:53 > 1:00:55Oh, I...

1:00:55 > 1:00:57It's a pleasure to meet you, Mrs Khalil.

1:00:57 > 1:00:58You too.

1:00:58 > 1:01:00I...

1:01:00 > 1:01:03I'm sorry. I didn't know you were coming.

1:01:03 > 1:01:05Neither did I.

1:01:09 > 1:01:13- Your jewellery is very nice. - Oh! Oh, thank you.

1:01:13 > 1:01:16LAUGHS NERVOUSLY

1:01:16 > 1:01:19Do you think we can go out for a cup of tea some time?

1:01:19 > 1:01:22Oh. We could go right now.

1:01:22 > 1:01:24I... I...

1:01:24 > 1:01:27I'm just watching Zev's table but, um...

1:01:27 > 1:01:31I just need to find someone to...

1:01:37 > 1:01:39- Hey. - Hi.

1:01:43 > 1:01:45- WOMAN: Is that a necklace? - WOMAN 2: I think so.

1:01:47 > 1:01:49I like that one in the front.

1:01:52 > 1:01:55It's all handmade.

1:01:55 > 1:01:57Ooh.

1:01:57 > 1:02:00I've lived here for two years,

1:02:00 > 1:02:03and I was in France for a year before that.

1:02:03 > 1:02:05Do you miss home?

1:02:05 > 1:02:07Yes, sometimes.

1:02:07 > 1:02:10But I don't want to live there.

1:02:12 > 1:02:13Do you miss Syria?

1:02:15 > 1:02:17Sometimes, too.

1:02:17 > 1:02:21I miss Damascus - the smell.

1:02:23 > 1:02:26But this is my home now.

1:02:26 > 1:02:29When did you meet Walter?

1:02:29 > 1:02:33Walter? Uh...about ten days ago.

1:02:33 > 1:02:35Ten days? That's all?

1:02:35 > 1:02:37Mm.

1:02:38 > 1:02:39How did you meet him?

1:02:39 > 1:02:42Uh...

1:02:42 > 1:02:44through Tarek's friend, Ivan.

1:02:44 > 1:02:46That's how we ended up living there.

1:02:46 > 1:02:48You lived there too?

1:02:48 > 1:02:50Just for a little while.

1:02:59 > 1:03:02So, have you spoken to Tarek?

1:03:02 > 1:03:05Yes. He called me this morning.

1:03:05 > 1:03:07He sounded in a good spirit.

1:03:08 > 1:03:11I was so afraid this was going to happen.

1:03:13 > 1:03:16Tarek used to tease me that I worry too much but now...

1:03:18 > 1:03:20I just don't know what to do.

1:03:22 > 1:03:24I miss him so much.

1:03:26 > 1:03:27I'm sorry.

1:03:32 > 1:03:36Zainab, I'd like you to do something for me.

1:03:37 > 1:03:40I'd like you to show me something you and Tarek liked to do -

1:03:40 > 1:03:41somewhere you liked to go.

1:03:43 > 1:03:44Like what?

1:03:45 > 1:03:47Whatever you like.

1:03:47 > 1:03:50OK. OK.

1:04:04 > 1:04:07MOUNA: So what is in Staten Island?

1:04:07 > 1:04:09I don't know.

1:04:09 > 1:04:12We would just go there and then come back. We never got off.

1:04:12 > 1:04:15Why?

1:04:15 > 1:04:19It was free. It felt like we were going somewhere.

1:04:19 > 1:04:22Oh. That's where the Twin Towers were.

1:04:22 > 1:04:26I never saw them but Tarek did.

1:04:26 > 1:04:29Oh, and...there's the statue.

1:04:29 > 1:04:31And behind that is Ellis Island.

1:04:33 > 1:04:36Sometimes Tarek would point at the statue and jump up and down

1:04:36 > 1:04:40like we are arriving in New York for the first time.

1:04:40 > 1:04:42It was very funny.

1:04:45 > 1:04:46Can you go up in the statue?

1:04:46 > 1:04:48Oh, yeah.

1:04:48 > 1:04:50I think so.

1:04:50 > 1:04:52- You haven't been there? - No.

1:04:52 > 1:04:53Never?

1:04:53 > 1:04:54No.

1:04:54 > 1:04:56MOBILE PHONE RINGS

1:04:56 > 1:04:58Excuse me.

1:04:58 > 1:05:00Hello?

1:05:00 > 1:05:02Hey, Charles.

1:05:02 > 1:05:03What's that?

1:05:03 > 1:05:07Um, yeah. I'm still in New York.

1:05:08 > 1:05:11I'm sorry, Charles. I couldn't make it back yesterday.

1:05:11 > 1:05:13I said I couldn't make it back.

1:05:13 > 1:05:15Well, I'm on a boat.

1:05:15 > 1:05:17A boat!

1:05:17 > 1:05:19Listen, Charles, I'll explain it to you when I see you

1:05:19 > 1:05:21but I have to go now, so I'll call you back.

1:05:21 > 1:05:22Goodbye.

1:05:33 > 1:05:35- TAREK:- You went on the ferry?

1:05:35 > 1:05:37- Yes.- No!

1:05:37 > 1:05:39- My mother too? - She liked it.

1:05:39 > 1:05:40TAREK LAUGHS

1:05:40 > 1:05:43You know that they don't even have an outside space here.

1:05:43 > 1:05:46They just have a room with its roof cut out.

1:05:46 > 1:05:50- Really? - It's some crazy stuff, man.

1:05:52 > 1:05:54And they seemed to get along? Zainab and my mother?

1:05:54 > 1:05:57Yes. I think your mother likes her very much.

1:06:00 > 1:06:02My mother's not going home, is she?

1:06:02 > 1:06:04I don't think so.

1:06:04 > 1:06:07I know she's thinking about my father.

1:06:08 > 1:06:10Why?

1:06:11 > 1:06:13He spent seven years in jail in Syria

1:06:13 > 1:06:15because of something he wrote in the newspaper.

1:06:15 > 1:06:19By the time they released him, he was very sick.

1:06:19 > 1:06:22'He died two months later.

1:06:22 > 1:06:25'That's why we moved here.'

1:06:29 > 1:06:30Would you like a glass of wine?

1:06:30 > 1:06:32No, thank you.

1:06:42 > 1:06:43Mouna?

1:06:43 > 1:06:47Um, I need to go back to Connecticut tomorrow for work.

1:06:47 > 1:06:49I told Tarek.

1:06:49 > 1:06:51How long will you be gone?

1:06:51 > 1:06:53I don't know yet.

1:06:54 > 1:06:57I'll try to get back and visit him as soon as I can.

1:06:58 > 1:07:01Walter, you don't have to keep visiting him.

1:07:01 > 1:07:03I'm sure you are busy.

1:07:06 > 1:07:08I'll see what I can do.

1:07:14 > 1:07:15Dinner will be ready soon.

1:07:15 > 1:07:17Oh, OK.

1:07:29 > 1:07:32Walter, do you go to Broadway?

1:07:32 > 1:07:34No, not really.

1:07:36 > 1:07:38Tarek sent me the CD for The Phantom Of The Opera

1:07:38 > 1:07:40for my birthday.

1:07:40 > 1:07:42I think I know every word.

1:07:48 > 1:07:51Tarek is teaching me the drum.

1:07:51 > 1:07:53Really? How is that going?

1:07:53 > 1:07:57Well, I sound a lot better when he's playing with me.

1:08:03 > 1:08:04How is your teaching?

1:08:04 > 1:08:07- My teaching? - Yes.

1:08:07 > 1:08:09It's fine.

1:08:09 > 1:08:11How many classes do you have?

1:08:11 > 1:08:15Well...I have a lighter schedule so I can focus on my book.

1:08:15 > 1:08:18Your book? What is it about?

1:08:19 > 1:08:23Well, it covers quite a bit, so it's hard to explain.

1:08:23 > 1:08:24You're almost finished?

1:08:24 > 1:08:26I'm close.

1:08:29 > 1:08:32You don't like to talk about your work?

1:08:32 > 1:08:33Mm.

1:08:33 > 1:08:35It's just not a process that's easy to talk about

1:08:35 > 1:08:37with somebody who's not a writer.

1:08:41 > 1:08:42Oh.

1:08:47 > 1:08:50I shouldn't have spoken to you like that.

1:08:50 > 1:08:52It's OK.

1:09:11 > 1:09:13Thanks.

1:09:15 > 1:09:18Well, um, you have my number if you need anything.

1:09:18 > 1:09:21Thank you. I'll be fine.

1:09:22 > 1:09:24- Here. - Thank you.

1:09:24 > 1:09:26Have a safe trip.

1:09:26 > 1:09:27Thanks.

1:09:27 > 1:09:29- Goodbye. - Goodbye.

1:10:03 > 1:10:06Good afternoon.

1:10:11 > 1:10:13Hi, Mouna. It's Walter.

1:10:13 > 1:10:17Uh, no. I was just checking in to make sure everything was OK.

1:10:18 > 1:10:19OK.

1:10:19 > 1:10:20I'm good.

1:10:20 > 1:10:22Uh, you know, working.

1:10:24 > 1:10:27OK. So...good.

1:10:28 > 1:10:30Good night.

1:12:07 > 1:12:09Walter.

1:12:09 > 1:12:11Hello.

1:12:11 > 1:12:12I didn't expect you so soon.

1:12:14 > 1:12:16I just was cleaning a bit.

1:12:20 > 1:12:22I love this CD.

1:12:22 > 1:12:24Is that your wife?

1:12:24 > 1:12:26Yes.

1:12:26 > 1:12:27She was beautiful.

1:12:27 > 1:12:29Thank you.

1:12:32 > 1:12:34These are different glasses?

1:12:34 > 1:12:35- Mm-hm. - Are they new?

1:12:35 > 1:12:37They are, yeah.

1:12:37 > 1:12:39They're nice.

1:12:39 > 1:12:40Thank you.

1:12:42 > 1:12:45I was going to cook some lunch. Are you hungry?

1:12:45 > 1:12:48Yes. That would be nice.

1:12:48 > 1:12:49OK.

1:12:57 > 1:12:59- Mouna? - Yes?

1:12:59 > 1:13:03I was wondering - um, Thursday night, do you have any plans?

1:13:05 > 1:13:08No, Walter, I have no plans.

1:13:08 > 1:13:11OK, well, then, I thought... maybe we might do something.

1:13:13 > 1:13:14OK.

1:13:14 > 1:13:16OK.

1:13:23 > 1:13:25- TAREK:- They keep moving people. - WALTER: To where?

1:13:25 > 1:13:28I don't know. I think to other detention centres.

1:13:28 > 1:13:30Two Moroccan guys were just moved.

1:13:30 > 1:13:33They had no idea. Suddenly they were just gone.

1:13:33 > 1:13:35Has anyone said anything to you?

1:13:35 > 1:13:38No. No-one in here knows anything.

1:13:38 > 1:13:40This is not fair.

1:13:40 > 1:13:45I am not a criminal. I have committed no crime.

1:13:45 > 1:13:48What do they think? I'm a terrorist?

1:13:48 > 1:13:50There are no terrorists in here.

1:13:50 > 1:13:51The terrorists have money. They have support.

1:13:51 > 1:13:53This is just not fair!

1:13:53 > 1:13:56- I know. - How do you know?! You're out there!

1:14:09 > 1:14:11I'm sorry. I...

1:14:19 > 1:14:23TAREK SNIFFS

1:14:23 > 1:14:25I sit in here at night and...

1:14:26 > 1:14:28I keep thinking about Zainab.

1:14:32 > 1:14:35I just want to live my life and play my music.

1:14:38 > 1:14:40What's so wrong about that?

1:14:46 > 1:14:48WALTER: OK.

1:14:48 > 1:14:51OK. Please do. Yeah. Thank you.

1:14:51 > 1:14:54OK. Bye.

1:14:55 > 1:14:56What did he say?

1:14:56 > 1:14:58That he'd make some calls

1:14:58 > 1:15:01but they can move him to another facility at their discretion.

1:15:01 > 1:15:03What facility? Where?

1:15:03 > 1:15:06He said it could be anywhere.

1:15:06 > 1:15:08Upstate. Pennsylvania.

1:15:08 > 1:15:10There's even one in Louisiana.

1:15:10 > 1:15:12Louisiana? Where they had the floods?

1:15:12 > 1:15:15- Mm. - But that's too far.

1:15:15 > 1:15:17Yeah.

1:15:17 > 1:15:20Did the lawyer say anything else?

1:15:20 > 1:15:22No, he didn't know anything else.

1:15:25 > 1:15:28It feels like Syria.

1:16:07 > 1:16:10MOUNA SPEAKS ARABIC

1:16:14 > 1:16:17OK. Bye, habibi. Bye.

1:16:24 > 1:16:26Sorry to keep you waiting.

1:16:26 > 1:16:27That's OK. How is he?

1:16:27 > 1:16:29He says hello.

1:16:29 > 1:16:32He wants to make sure you are practising your drum.

1:16:32 > 1:16:34I am.

1:16:34 > 1:16:36You look very nice.

1:16:36 > 1:16:39Thank you. You too.

1:16:39 > 1:16:41Thank you.

1:16:59 > 1:17:01WALTER: OK. That's good.

1:17:02 > 1:17:04- DRIVER:- Thank you, sir.

1:17:04 > 1:17:06You ready?

1:17:06 > 1:17:08For what?

1:17:08 > 1:17:10Well, uh, I thought we'd go see this.

1:17:12 > 1:17:15- Really? - Yep.

1:17:15 > 1:17:17- Now? - Yeah. Is that OK?

1:17:17 > 1:17:21Yes. That's wonderful.

1:17:21 > 1:17:23Thank you.

1:17:23 > 1:17:24I'm so excited.

1:17:24 > 1:17:26OK.

1:17:26 > 1:17:29Don't move.

1:17:57 > 1:18:01You know, I think that show was really kind of scary.

1:18:01 > 1:18:04It was a little scary. Yeah.

1:18:05 > 1:18:07Are you finished?

1:18:07 > 1:18:09- Yes. Thank you. - How is everything?

1:18:09 > 1:18:11- Great. - Very good.

1:18:11 > 1:18:13Actually, I think I would like a glass of wine, please.

1:18:13 > 1:18:15I'm sorry. I didn't even think to ask.

1:18:15 > 1:18:19It's OK. It's not every night that you see The Phantom.

1:18:19 > 1:18:21I'll have a cabernet.

1:18:21 > 1:18:23- Cabernet. - Two, please.

1:18:23 > 1:18:24Thanks.

1:18:24 > 1:18:26I haven't been to the theatre in a long time.

1:18:26 > 1:18:28Me neither.

1:18:28 > 1:18:31There's a place in Syria called Maaloula.

1:18:31 > 1:18:34It's a very big outdoor theatre.

1:18:34 > 1:18:35It's beautiful.

1:18:35 > 1:18:39We used to take Tarek there to see concerts.

1:18:39 > 1:18:41- There you go. - Thank you.

1:18:41 > 1:18:43- Thank you. - You're welcome.

1:18:44 > 1:18:47Well...cheers.

1:18:52 > 1:18:54Mmm!

1:18:54 > 1:18:56Mouna, um...

1:18:58 > 1:19:01I'm taking a leave of absence for the rest of the semester.

1:19:01 > 1:19:04Really? Why?

1:19:04 > 1:19:08Well, I thought I might spend some more time in New York.

1:19:08 > 1:19:12Walter, you don't have to do this. You're busy.

1:19:12 > 1:19:14I want to.

1:19:14 > 1:19:19But you have to be in Connecticut. You have your teaching, your books.

1:19:19 > 1:19:21No, it's fine, really.

1:19:22 > 1:19:27This is not your problem, Walter. It's OK that you're busy.

1:19:29 > 1:19:30I'm not busy.

1:19:32 > 1:19:34Not at all.

1:19:34 > 1:19:38The truth is I haven't done any real work in a very long time.

1:19:38 > 1:19:40But you just presented your paper at the conference.

1:19:40 > 1:19:41No, no.

1:19:41 > 1:19:44I didn't even write it. I just read it.

1:19:46 > 1:19:49I've been teaching the same course for 20 years

1:19:49 > 1:19:51and it doesn't mean anything to me.

1:19:51 > 1:19:54None of it does.

1:19:56 > 1:19:58I pretend.

1:19:59 > 1:20:03I pretend that I'm busy - that I'm working, that I'm writing.

1:20:06 > 1:20:08I'm not doing anything.

1:20:15 > 1:20:16I'm sorry.

1:20:16 > 1:20:18Don't be.

1:20:18 > 1:20:21I really appreciate you telling me this.

1:20:26 > 1:20:32Walter, what would you do if you didn't teach?

1:20:34 > 1:20:36I don't know.

1:20:36 > 1:20:39It's kind of exciting not to know.

1:20:44 > 1:20:46- What time is it? - 12.30.

1:20:46 > 1:20:48My God! Is it?

1:20:48 > 1:20:52Well, I think that happens a lot in New York. It's...

1:20:52 > 1:20:57Thank you, Walter. It was a lovely evening.

1:20:57 > 1:20:59It's the most fun I've had in a long time.

1:20:59 > 1:21:02Yeah, I told Tarek that I was taking you tonight.

1:21:02 > 1:21:04I think he was happy about it.

1:21:06 > 1:21:07Thank you.

1:21:09 > 1:21:10SHE KISSES HIM

1:21:10 > 1:21:13- Good night. - Good night.

1:21:25 > 1:21:28BUZZING

1:21:44 > 1:21:47There's a message from Tarek. Something's wrong.

1:21:47 > 1:21:48What did he say?

1:21:48 > 1:21:51He said they were moving him. He didn't know what it meant.

1:21:51 > 1:21:53We should go.

1:21:57 > 1:21:59OK. When do you expect him?

1:21:59 > 1:22:03All right. When he gets in, could you have him call me as soon as possible?

1:22:03 > 1:22:04Please. It's an emergency.

1:22:04 > 1:22:07Thank you. He's still in court.

1:22:07 > 1:22:09Come on. Come on. Can you hurry?

1:22:09 > 1:22:12- DRIVER:- Sorry, sir. - I hate this feeling.

1:22:39 > 1:22:41I'm here for bed 38. Tarek Khalil.

1:22:47 > 1:22:49Uh, I understand, but this is extremely urgent.

1:22:49 > 1:22:51Could you please check for me?

1:22:53 > 1:22:55Thank you, sir. I appreciate it.

1:22:58 > 1:23:00He is no longer with us.

1:23:00 > 1:23:04Wh...wh...what does that mean?

1:23:04 > 1:23:06I'm not sure.

1:23:06 > 1:23:08What do you mean you're not...?

1:23:08 > 1:23:11I mean, was he moved to another facility? Another state? What?

1:23:11 > 1:23:13I don't know.

1:23:13 > 1:23:16I just know that that detainee is no longer at the facility.

1:23:16 > 1:23:18Well, could you please find someone who does know?

1:23:18 > 1:23:20I would appreciate it.

1:23:20 > 1:23:23- Hold on. - Thank you.

1:23:23 > 1:23:24Thank you very much.

1:23:39 > 1:23:40Deported.

1:23:40 > 1:23:42Deported?

1:23:42 > 1:23:44When?

1:23:44 > 1:23:46He was deported this morning.

1:23:46 > 1:23:48How can that be?

1:23:48 > 1:23:50No, he...

1:23:57 > 1:24:00Um, sir, is, uh...

1:24:00 > 1:24:03Is there any way that I could contact him?

1:24:03 > 1:24:04I don't think so.

1:24:04 > 1:24:07You don't think so? What kind of an answer is that?!

1:24:07 > 1:24:10I'm sorry, sir. That's all the information that I have.

1:24:10 > 1:24:14Now, please, step away from the window.

1:24:14 > 1:24:17You can contact ICE if you have any further questions.

1:24:17 > 1:24:19The number is on the wall.

1:24:21 > 1:24:23Sir?

1:24:23 > 1:24:25Step away from the window, please.

1:24:27 > 1:24:29Sir, for the last time,

1:24:29 > 1:24:32step away from the window.

1:24:58 > 1:25:01You can't just take people away like that!

1:25:01 > 1:25:02Do you hear me?!

1:25:02 > 1:25:06He was a good man. A good person!

1:25:06 > 1:25:09It's not fair!

1:25:10 > 1:25:12We are not just helpless children!

1:25:12 > 1:25:15He had a life!

1:25:17 > 1:25:19Do you hear me?! I mean, do you hear me?!

1:25:22 > 1:25:24What's the matter with you?

1:25:24 > 1:25:26- MOUNA:- Walter. - What?!

1:25:31 > 1:25:32Let's go.

1:25:38 > 1:25:40Let's go. There is nothing we can do.

1:25:43 > 1:25:44Let's go, please.

1:26:05 > 1:26:08He did nothing wrong.

1:27:26 > 1:27:27Are you OK?

1:27:28 > 1:27:30Yeah.

1:27:34 > 1:27:39Walter, I need to go back to Syria. I should be there for Tarek.

1:27:41 > 1:27:43- When are you going? - Tomorrow.

1:27:43 > 1:27:47It's best for me to be there as soon as possible.

1:27:49 > 1:27:51You won't be able to come back.

1:27:52 > 1:27:54I know.

1:27:57 > 1:27:58Good night.

1:28:01 > 1:28:04Mouna?

1:28:04 > 1:28:05I'm sorry.

1:28:05 > 1:28:08I am so sorry.

1:28:16 > 1:28:18KNOCK AT DOOR

1:28:18 > 1:28:20Yes?

1:28:59 > 1:29:01It's my fault, what happened to Tarek.

1:29:04 > 1:29:07We did receive the letter telling us to leave.

1:29:09 > 1:29:13I threw it away.

1:29:13 > 1:29:15I never told him.

1:29:33 > 1:29:36We were here for three years before the letter arrived.

1:29:38 > 1:29:41I had found a job.

1:29:43 > 1:29:45Tarek was in school.

1:29:47 > 1:29:52Everybody told me not to worry - the government didn't care.

1:29:54 > 1:29:56And it appeared to be true.

1:29:59 > 1:30:04And then, after time,

1:30:04 > 1:30:05you forget.

1:30:09 > 1:30:12You think that you really belong.

1:30:16 > 1:30:18It's not your fault.
