01x20 - Episode 20

[bunniefuu]

Why are you looking at me like that?

I love you.

I love you too. You're really
like a brother to me, Mahmoud.

EPISODE 20

You really are crazy.

What can I do? I love you.

Basil, please try to understand me.

Darling.

It fell down.

We're not spending a lot of time together.

How about we go and have breakfast
together, just you and me.

I can't, darling. I have a very
important meeting at eleven o'clock.

For my sake.

Darling, how about
we have dinner together, just you and I,

what do you think?

-Alone?
-Yes, alone.

What time is it right now?

-It's nine.
-Nine.

This means we still have
two hours till eleven.

Do we still have two hours till eleven?

And... haven't I told you today
that I love you?

No.

Not even once, not even a little?

I have no manners, really, no brain.

-No manners.
-Not a gentleman at all.

I don't see what's in front of me.

-What have you lost?
-Hi, lazy girl.

What are you searching for?

My passport.

Do you want to travel?

I was traveling, but not anymore.

Did you sleep well?

It's the first time
I slept so comfortably.

So, what would you like to have
for breakfast?

You want to make me breakfast?

Of course,
one should take care of his guest.

Right?

Do you like fried eggs?

Okay.

Anyway, where did your passport go?

I don't know,
I've been searching all morning.

Would you like your eggs scrambled or...

This is Reem, right?

-Hello.
-So, Omar, it seems you didn't travel.

I did, but my telephone is roaming.

That is strange. How could you travel
when your passport was with me?

How did you enter my house
and steal my passport?

Don't ask, I am Sahar.

What do you want, Sahar?
What do you want?

I have things to do now,

and when I'm done,
I'll come and tell you what I want.

I am sorry for being late.
There was traffic.

-It's okay.
-Did they offer you something to drink?

They did, but I wanted to wait for you.

No problem,
we'll drink our coffee together.

One black coffee and one ginger.

Please, sit down.
I know that you like ginger.

Although not as much as you like women.

We all like women,
but you sleep around a lot.

Although you became wiser,
and got married six months ago.

True, I got married,

but it was never announced
because it was a civil marriage.

And I got divorced
before the papers reached Lebanon.

You have as much right to know
everything about me

as I do to know about you
and your brother.

Where is your brother? Isn't he coming?

Mr. Amir, please be straightforward.
I don't have time for games.

-Get to the point already.
-Okay.

This is the land in Dahr El Souane.

I struck a deal with the owner,
and we'll finalize it tomorrow.

But I came to understand
that the land alongside it is yours,

and the land is for your brother as well.

So, what do you want from me?

What do I want?
You know, I work in the same domain.

But I want to expand my business and
open cement and iron plants in Lebanon.

I don't want to compete with you.

I thought maybe we could have
a joint venture together.

Then, we would dominate
the whole Arab market.

That's really nice, it's nice.

You came from Egypt
to talk to me about this project,

so this is the urgent thing
that you wanted to discuss?

If you are interested, we can meet
in a couple of days over dinner,

and talk about the details.

You don't have to give me an answer
right now. Think about it and we'll talk.

Issam, he just left my office.

Keep watching him around the clock.

-How are you, handsome boy?
-God bless you, take a rose.

There is a girl named Khouloud,
do you know her?

-Yes, I do.
-Where is she?

Last time I saw her,
she was sick and coughing a lot.

Thank you.

Hey, you! If you want,
come and ask every day about Khouloud.

-Hi, girls.
-Welcome.

I'm looking for a girl with blue eyes.
Her name is Khouloud. Do you know her?

I can't tell you.
Go and ask my brother Mahmoud.

-Hi, Mahmoud.
-Welcome.

Your sister told me
that you know Khouloud.

Yes, I do. She's sick and staying in bed.

Can you tell me where she is?

That'll cost you
a hundred thousand lira.

Khouloud.

Help me move her to the car.

-Good morning, bride, what a lovely day.
-Good morning.

Why are you so shy?
We have all been in this phase of life.

You don't have to be so shy.

Welcome, good morning.

-God bless you.
-Thank you, darling.

-I made this tomato dish.
-Thank you.

Where is Rasheed?

I sent him to get something.
I'm also going to the vegetable market.

-How is Um Mahmoud? Hopefully better?
-Yes, much better, thank God.

-Guess what?
-What?

The lawyer called
and said he will bail Mahmoud out today.

This is good news. So tonight, you can
sleep in our house and make it shine.

-No more excuses.
-No excuses.

Calm down!
Give me a minute to close the shop.

No, don't close it. I will stay
in the shop until Rasheed comes back.

-All right, darling.
-Take care.

-Take care.
-He's always in a hurry.

Let's go now.

Hi, Reem.

What? Who is she?

What do you mean,
you found her on the street?

All right, okay.

I'm in Abdallah's shop,
you can bring her here.

-I don't understand. What happened now?
-The car owner didn't press charges.

There's still the city's case against you,
but I am bailing you out right now.

Where did I get fifty million lira
for you to do that?

-Someone who loves you paid the money.
-Someone who loves me? Who is it?

How are you, Mahmoud?

I remember you.

Aren't you the lady I saw
leaving Hanane's house?

Get in the car, Mahmoud.

Thank you, lawyer.

Leave me alone, damn you!
I don't want the shot!

I don't want the shot, no!
Let go of me, you b*stards.

-Calm down, we're almost done.
-Calm down.

-I don't want to get a shot!
-It'll be very quick.

-Let go!
-You need it to get better.

-Let go of me!
-Let's count to three.

-Let go!
-Just a second, easy now.

-One, two.
-It's over, you did it.

We're done, it's over.

-Enough.
-Damn you! Buzz off.

Enough, Khouloud.

-Please excuse us, doctor.
-It's all right.

I'm prescribing an antibiotic
and a cough medicine,

and one for the fever.
She'll get better in 48 hours.

-Thank you.
-Don't worry.

-Thank you, doctor.
-She'll be fine.

Thank you.

-I'll walk you to the door.
-Don't worry, I know the way out.

-Take care of her.
-Will do.

Why did you cause such a scene
in front of the doctor? Shame on you.

Shame on you for what you did to me.
You showed my a*s around!

Listen up, both of you.

If you give me another shot,
I will safastak the hell out of you!

-What does "safastak" mean?
-I don't know.

-What does "safastak" mean?
-None of your business.

What?

Now you are kicking,
you're not sick anymore.

Let's leave her alone.

I'll be back to deal with you.
Count your money, go on.

Damn them both, animals.
My a*s hurts.

I'll put this here.

No, no, I have never seen
any kids like her.

She has no manners at all.

She is a street kid,
Hanane, that's normal.

-Please, let's call the orphanage.
-I don't know anyone there anymore.

-Bye now.
-Where are you going?

-Come here.
-What do you want? I'm leaving.

I told you,
we're going to the orphanage.

I told you,
I don't want to go to that prison.

-Come here, Khouloud.
-Leave me alone.

Come here, listen to me.

I won't leave you.

You are sick. You can't be
out on the street by yourself.

You need someone
to look after you, understand?

I am as strong as a horse.
Who are you to talk to me?

Are you my mom, my dad, my grandparents?

What a shame, girl! You should thank Reem
for taking care of you.

No one asked her to take care of me,

and who are you to talk to me,
you dumb old lady?

What kind of talk is that?
We don't talk to grownups like that.

-Good.
-Where are you going?

-What are these?
-No.

-What are these? You're stealing too?
-Not true! I never steal.

They got caught on my sleeve
while I was going out.

-They got caught on your sleeve?
-Yes, they did.

Let me see.

Is that possible, Khouloud?

-It smells bad, anyway.
-Bad?

Shame on you!

What kind of orphanage
would take such a girl?

That's dreadful.

Give it to me,
what else do you have, money?

Give it to me.

Give me that.

These are ours too.
You took them from the drawer.

No, my brooch, you're awful.

-This is too much.
-What am I going to do with you, Khouloud?

Come here.

Come here.
You think I'm going to take your money?

Come here.

-You should apologize to Aunt Hanane.
-I won't apologize to her.

You should apologize.

I told you, I don't want to apologize
and I won't.

Okay, I won't take you to the orphanage,
but you will stay here, okay?

What a damned day!

-I accept, but on one condition.
-This tough cookie has a condition!

Then I'm leaving.
What do you want from me?

Sit down, Khouloud, sit down.

Tell me now, what is your condition?

Look how she's eating,
gorging on the food like Sahar used to.

Her attitude is just like Sahar's.

But she looks like you,
especially your eyes.

By the way, how are things
between you and Sahar?

We're always fighting.

Anyway, Hanane, did you know
that her mother is still alive?

What?

No, her mother died
while she was in prison.

That's what she said, but she's not dead.

She's keeping her in the mountain village
with a maid to look after her.

How could she keep
something like that from me?

-How do you know?
-Omar told me.

To tell you the truth,
Sahar can do anything.

But why would she tell Omar
about her mother, and not tell you?

No, she didn't tell Omar.
He had his way of finding out.

So, what is the news about Mahmoud?

When you gave me her number,
I called her at once.

She hired a lawyer for him,
and he's working on the case.

And he promised to bail him out today.

I hope so.

I'm late, I have to go now.

Look after yourself.

-If you need anything, call me, okay?
-I can call you directly now?

Let it be a missed call,
and I will call you back.

All right.

Khouloud, I'm leaving.

Don't give Hanane a hard time,
do you hear me?

-Tell her not to give me a hard time.
-Listen to the girl.

When you're done, you need a bath.

Listen, both of you,

I am telling you right now,
I don't want to take a bath.

I had a bath a week ago.
Do I have to keep bathing?

You didn't tell me, madam.

Who are you
and why did you bring me here?

What are these?

Souseye?

-Sahar!
-Souseye.

I said to myself, when I saw your eyes,

that they are no stranger to me.

Do you know that the one thing that
doesn't change in a person is their eyes?

They remain the same size,
from birth until death.

Tell me, where have you been
all this time?

It doesn't matter where I was.

What matters is that I have come.

Your car looks expensive.

And you bailed me out for 50 million lira.

It seems you have become rich.

-Very much so.
-Can I know how?

It doesn't matter how.
What matters is the result.

-Are you engaged?
-Something like that.

-Do you know that I missed you a lot?
-And I missed you too, Mahmoud.

-What are you doing here, Basil?
-Me? What are you doing here, madam?

-Who is this?
-We'll talk...

-Answer me, who is this?
-Basil, we'll talk later.

-Calm down, man.
-We'll talk once we get home.

-Calm down.
-Basil!

-Go, Mahmoud, go.
-Who is this?

-Go and tell your mother you're okay.
-Answer me, who is this?

-Basil, we'll talk when we get home.
-Why not talk now?

Are you following me, Basil?
Are you watching me?

Yes, I am watching you. Who is this?

Who would send flowers to my house?
To my house, to my honorable wife?

-What are you talking about?
-What is this? What is it?

What are these three dots?
Who is this? Answer me.

I won't let this push me
into fighting with you.

That was Mahmoud,
a guy from my neighborhood.

We grew up together.

He is a poor man who was forced to steal

in order to buy an oxygen device
for his father, who is now dead.

His mother begged me
to bail him out of jail.

If you've been following me,
then you saw him getting out of jail.

I'll give you his lawyer's number.
Call him to verify everything I said.

Maybe his mother sent me
the flowers to thank me.

Right? Is that all right?

If I wanted to have an affair, I wouldn't
have married you in the first place.

Nothing compelled me to do so.

And I am not so stupid, Mr. Basil,

as to let my lover send me flowers
to my husband's house.

-Out of my way.
-Sahar.

Sahar, I didn't know what it was about.
Sahar, listen to me.

Sahar, just let me say a few words.
Sahar, don't leave me, please.

Sahar, listen to me, just for a second.
Sahar, listen to me.

Sahar!

Sahar!

-Hello.
-No, this is too much.

Your stupidity will keep
reaching new heights,

until you fall and take me down with you.

-What are you talking about?
-You don't know?

You are fighting
on a hundred fronts now.

One minute it's Lamees,
then it's Amine, then my mother,

and now with the roses.
Keep messing things up.

And let us hit the brick wall together.

-Who are you?
-Farah.

And there is no need to introduce
yourself,

because I know you very well, Mrs. Reem.

-Omar?
-He is not here.

-And how do you know me?
-He told me about you.

That's nice.
And what did he tell you about me?

First, can you tell me what a married
and respectable woman is doing

alone in a single man's house?

-What did you say your name is?
-Farah, I'm Omar's girlfriend.

I'm enchanted. You're also his girlfriend.

My advice is that you stay away from him.

You were engaged, and you left him
to marry another man.

Why are you still after him?

Let him find a way to forget you.
Have you no mercy?

Oh, darling, you're in love.

Your boyfriend is here.

Who is this?

Tell her to leave us alone for a while.

Fifi, go inside.

Go inside, now.

Who is she and why did you tell her
everything about me?

You said you were travelling.

I didn't travel, a problem came up
and I had to stay here.

-I knew that you were lying. I knew it.
-I didn't lie to you.

I even told you about Sahar's mother,
didn't I?

You told me, so what?

What does that mean?
You're a fan of gossiping now.

I don't understand you.

When we sleep together,
do you start gossiping as well?

-What did you tell her about me?
-Nothing important...

-What did you tell her about me?
-Nothing important!

It's nothing important that she knows
my name, and how I look?

It's not important that she knows
we were engaged? That's not important?

It's not important
that Hadi might find out?

Hadi is the most important thing.

The most important thing to you
is that Hadi won't know.

And that your life remains
the same with him.

Damn me and my life, I don't matter.

Your life is going well,
and the evidence is in here.

You can't judge the way
I'm trying to forget you.

You can't.

I wish you manage to forget me at last.

So when, uncle?

Can't you see that one dilemma
is coming after another?

One can hardly deal
with all of that, you are right, but...

Look, we go next week to their house,
and we ask her hand in marriage.

-I promise you, is that okay?
-Okay.

-Sir, look who's here.
-Mahmoud?

-Good to see you again, Mahmoud.
-It's a happy neighborhood now.

-It's good that you're back, Mahmoud
-It's good that you're back, Mahmoud.

Um Mahmoud, come and see who is here.

Sorry for your loss,
and it's good to see you, darling.

-Um Mahmoud, come.
-Good to see you again, Mahmoud.

Mahmoud, my darling.
You're my darling.

Abu Mahmoud is gone.
He's gone and he left us.

-He's gone, my son. He is gone.
-I'm here with you, Mom.

I'm here.

-You still need time, darling?
-No.

Good.

Is it beautiful?

But this is a lot. What is the occasion?

Did you forget
that today is your birthday?

I always forget this day.
It doesn't mean a lot to me.

But it means a lot to me,
and I won't let you forget it from now on.

And we will remember it.

By the way, have I told you today
that I love you?

-No
-Not even a little bit?

-I didn't?
-Perhaps in the morning.

I forgot.

All right, go now, and get yourself ready.

-You look so pretty, Reem.
-Thank you, this is nice.

-Are you going out for dinner?
-We want to celebrate.

-It's Reem's birthday.
-I didn't know that.

Happy birthday.
I hope to see you as parents soon.

Thank you.

You should have told us
to celebrate with you.

No, it's okay, some other time.
Today we want to be on our own.

-It's your right, have fun.
-Thank you.

Hadi.

-Don't drink a lot of tequila.
-But tonight, I have a desire to drink.

Tonight, he can drink whatever
and however much he wants.

Tonight, his wife is with him,
and it's her birthday.

Where have you been, Sahar?

I called you a hundred times
and you didn't answer me.

This is the name
and the number of the lawyer.

And on the back,
I wrote the number of Mahmoud's mom.

You can call her tomorrow
and make sure I'm not lying.

I'm sorry. You are right,
I am wrong, I know.

But put yourself in my shoes.

My wife is getting flowers
from someone I don't know.

Do you want me to remain silent
and do nothing?

Listen to me carefully, Basil.

I married you because I love you.
No one forced me to.

I chose you of my own free will.

All I asked from you
is to give me a little bit of time.

But instead of winning my heart,

you're driving me away
with your stupid behavior...

Yes, you are right, you're right, I know.

I was wrong,
and did things without thinking.

That's it, take as much time as you want,
I have no problem, but...

Don't leave me, Sahar,
I beg you, don't leave me.

If you leave me, I will die.

I'd really die.
I can't believe I actually found you.

I don't want to lose you.
I beg you not to leave me.

Enough, you're hurting me. Leave me alone.

I've combed her hair three times,
and it's still full of lice.

-What are you doing? You're bothering me.
-I am removing the lice from your hair.

Did you see how many lice there were
in your hair?

You should be thankful
that I let you bathe me.

Thank you for letting me.

Take it easy,
because there are a lot of lice.

Please don't k*ll them.

Come here, you made me lose one.
Calm down.

There is it, easy, easy.

Yes, we're done, I cracked it.
Now you are clean of lice, God willing.

You see, Abdallah,
she is going to give me a hard time.

I know, this is my luck,
shall I k*ll myself?

Eat, my daughter, why aren't you eating?

We brought this chicken
especially for you.

-I am full, thank God.
-No, you're not full.

Eat this with garlic.
Chicken is no good without garlic. Eat.

I am full, I am good.

Sit down, darling, just for a little bit.

Is something wrong?

Darling, now that you've eaten
and you're full,

there's something
I want to talk to you about.

What is it?

You are grown up now,
and you are aware of what is good for you.

-Is this true, daughter?
-Yeah, sure, my father.

Do you remember Mr. Jaber,

who came here,
and you saw him at the funeral?

I remember him.

He was so rude, by the way.
I was bothered by the way he looked at me.

-When he saw you, he went crazy for you.
-What do you mean?

I mean, he wants to marry you.

You're so funny, Dad.
Why would I marry that disgusting old man?

Yes, you will marry that disgusting
old man, because he is rich.

This is a joke, right?

No, it's not a joke.
It's the era of cash, the dollar.

I couldn't care less about money.

-I won't marry him.
-You will marry no matter what.

-I won't marry him, and that's that.
-Take it easy on the girl.

You will marry him, and your wedding
is on Friday, do you understand?

-I won't marry him, even if you k*ll me.
-Then we will k*ll you.

Now go to your room.

I will deal with her,
one step at a time. Sit down.

Always look at me like that.

What do you mean?

As if you're seeing me for the first time.

It is indeed the first time I see you.

Every time is the first time.

I will look at you like this,
all of my life.

And I will love you all of my life.

Until we grow old together,
and need glasses to look at each other.

-I love you.
-And I adore you.

You are my whole life.

I hope we spend all of our life together.

-Let's eat.
-Let's.

Yes?
